I think we’re all just wired differently. We like what we like. I guess this can be called fanboying.
I don’t value street acceleration that much. It’s nothing compared to the thrill of switching to brake as late as possible before a turn on track. If you’re used to track days, then 1g of acceleration should feel normal. Even a Plaid can’t sustain that.
As long as the acceleration is enough to not get in my way, I’ll prioritize other aspects of the driving experience. I would argue that previous gen 86 was not enough. It was embarrassing to see Miatas pointing me by and the drivers checks back a few seconds later wondering why I didn’t pass yet.
I actually had more fun driving the Mini Cooper SE (6s 0-60) than Model 3 Performance (3.2s 0-60). It was inferior in every performance metric. But the agility and character of the Mini more than made up for it. Maybe it’s not that I don’t like EV acceleration, but that current gen EV are designed like appliance. I just don’t see the fun in it (yet).
