I been 11.78 @120mph on a bone stock 2019 5.0 .. so this Mach 1 isn’t that impressive

[@carculturenation2166]

@@jamiebaker5358 they are basically the same car. So what more do you expect from a 2019 gt and 2021 mach 1 both with coyotes? Only thing they really change from the gt to the mach 1 is the manual transmission options the exhaust the gt350 intake and suspension. Basically it's a little extra hp from the gt350 intake. So they are basically get of rid of the gt350 and pp2 to merge it into one car. So your 11.78 and this car is gonna do that and a little faster. So I dont see how you are saying it isn't that impressive. That's like saying your gt isn't impressive. With weather it's going to be a little bit quicker than a gt. But this is the handling mustang now. One you can take out with the better manual or 10r80 and enjoy on a road course and drive home.

[@carculturenation2166]

People already get 10s with drag packs and a little suspension on there Mustang GTs. This is meant to be more of the handling car. So if you are gonna just do drag racing go with the gt. Toss the gt350 intake on and drag pack etc go boosted and go 8s and 9s without ever opening the motor

[@revanevan]

I think he mentions that, I'm not sure.

[@semperfi9039]

The tesla owner mentioned long range (4.5sec). So with the new tune aoftware update it may bring it down a little more. No friggin way it would have been anywhere close to the model 3 performance as that thing should be around 3.3sec to 60 but the mach 1 is still very impressive but the performance model 3 would have eaten the mach 1 alive.

[@Magic_Toaster]

The tesla guy is my big bro (so proud of him) so I can tell you it's pretty much performance version, but like one small notch down only because of the firmware. It's like the dual motor, long range, acceleration + something or other. I can't wait to drag race him next on my electric motorcycle.

[@Teamvenomracing]

@@revanevan Thanks. Great to see a stock SUB 12 mustang from Ford around 50K.

[@darreno1450]

I own one of those Teslas. It's the AWD long range with the acceleration boost. They can do 3.7 0-60 easily with that add-on. Many run about 11.8 in the quarter. Performance also depends on how charged the battery is.

[@gordydexter2615]

History has man/women eager to drive anything that makes a noise and goes fast, Adrenalin pumps and it’s a thrill. This will be lost. Put simply. EV's are the future, but your connection to the road will be lost, you might as well sit in the back and be chauffeur driven. In years to come, cars like this will be lost for ever, enjoy them while we can. Just imagine going to watch a car race in the future? What will you hear and smell?? Drop the Tesla vibes concentrate on these amazing cars!! I would rather watch these V8's than anything else Any competition should include the 3 points system and in this order. 1. Noise: (has to sound great) the thrill! Feeling the engine rock 2. Handling: hitting cnrs at unbelievable speeds and listening to the engine scream as the wheels lose traction 3. Speed: fast ( matched with screaming v8) stereo

[@bigk5746]

Hey Evan, how long have you been coloring your hair? It's really obvious and looks really funny.

[@EricFortuneJr.]

Most EVs are very limited on top end performance, with the exception of a few models, not sure why this is. I know it’s a software fix like most ICE cars, but one can’t help but wonder what the actual capabilities are before the motor actually burns itself out or the battery overheats. I wonder if they’ve tested them to the max before determining where to govern them.

[@EngineeringPerspective]

It’s because EVs use a single speed gearbox, at high speeds, electric motors start reducing power and can’t shift back into the powerband like ICE. A multi speed gearbox on EVs would solve that issue, but most don’t want to add the extra cost /complexity to an EV. It’s effectively “good enough” for most buyers as it is
