Gravity Delivery Discussion

[hmp10]

No apologies needed. I have a Dream on order as well. Whether I take it or not is another story

Now we're really talking changing one's tune. You've been so anxious to get your hands on one that you seemed ready to take it in any state of readiness.

Yeah, ok

An expensive car is a jigsaw puzzle of life. This is an important decision as the closer it comes to realization, the more critical thinking to apply. All the things to think about.

lol…. So much for existing owner priority . On a positive note, at least we’re finally seeing some traction!

Thank you for the transparency, I was just about to post the exact same thing

Looks like we have a 0-60 confirmation…I was hoping it would be quicker. It just might be on smaller wheels and I am thinking to ditch the tow bar I never plan to use for the weight savings.

He did exactly as Lucid quoted on a street start with probably no pre-conditioning, below 100% SOC etc etc....

I am happy it matched the spec, but in ideal scenario I think it should drop couple more tenths to hit 11.2 quarter car and driver is predicting.

For taking your Gravity to the dragstrip?

Yes…I take my grocery getters to DRAG strip, since 2015.

Reminder this is a GT, not a DE.

I remember…and then there are vehicles at half price going as quick…so yea, I need to know the pecking order. 800hp should mean something.

 

[borski]

800hp should mean something.

It does. It means <3.5s 0-60 on an unprepped road in an unprepped car.

EVs do a much better job managing power, been racing long enough to get the basics. I do expect the GT go faster on smaller wheels and without the tow bar.

Not a deal breaker, just taking notes and collecting data. Obsessively.

 

[NoseyReporter]

Tire would make a larger difference here. Understanding the difference is important.

I'd also argue torque is really the bigger factor here. Then weight difference between the cars.

Smaller wheels maybe, but not on the hankooks. Car and Driver got the Air Touring to 3 seconds flat on the Michelins, its 3.5s with some wheelspin on the street on the 19s with all-seasons...

Reviews make Hankooks look solid in the dry, the non SUV version anyway. With everything digital I have a feeling dry straight road acceleration will be due mostly to weight vs traction. Will see when we get more test data, right Borski? Waiting for those Dragy runs, before you lose the GT to the Dream order. Same place for the tests preferably. Feel free to run the full 1/4 as we don’t have that data yet.

I don’t own a Dragy

If anyone in the Bay Area does, though, and is willing to let me borrow it…
