Insane time exceeding expectations.. a tenth off the ACR, easily beating the 1LE as well as a last gen gt3 rs... slap some trofeos on this and itll go into the 30s!

(also beats the m5 cs by 10 seconds, which was a target of this car. target DEMOLISHED!)

My yellow car is @ 38th place.
Not that bad.

Wow! Tremendous showing by the Sapphire here. #21 all time, and every car with a faster time weighs at least a ton less. Absolutely amazing

That was very confusing to me, as I vividly remembered seeing this chart and a older miata being there lol.

The fact that a Honda Fit of all cars beat it by two seconds is just too humiliating. If I got gapped by a Fit like that, I'd probably just sell the car right after that

This is bonkers, the fastest sedan through VIR, EV or ICE, over 11' ahead of the the Taycan Turbo S.

Very impressive for a 3 ton BEV! I wonder why they didn't test a Model S Plaid?

Motor Trend's comparo was looking for track pack Plaid as well, and as Tesla doesn't have a marketing department, they ended up borrowing a (non track pack) private one. But yeah, would have been fun to see!
