Porsche already figured out how to put a turbo on an all electric car. Hahaha

Topic for another thread, but I’m not sure if I’d ever bring myself to purchase an electric or hybrid car. Not an expert on any of this by any means, but I would imagine an electric FRS would be a beast.

I wouldn’t want a EV 86/BRZ It would be faster, but so much would be missing. Accelerating in a dual motor Tesla 3 is pretty amazing, but it’s so.....numb? Granted I haven’t been able to drive something like the new NSX.

Ya, and what about the lack of exhaust note? I reckon the aftermarket will supply some sort of electric, variable pitch, variable "speed", sound generating thing -

I was just talking to my coworker (Tesla owner) about this. They could add a fake tach and paddles. Then use speakers to emulate engine sound and animate the tach. They could even use the motors to produce a jolt to emulate the shift. Kind of lame but less lame than mute. I was watching that Porsche Taycan lap around the ring and it’s so strange to see him throwing it around without sound.

Turbo S, such a stupid naming convention.

Like the Incredible Hulk. Don't let the "sports cars shouldn't weigh more than 2500lb" crowd hear you. Not sure what the model 3 battery weighs but the S battery back is 1200lbs.

That’s the eerie thing about an EV or Hybrid. They are so quiet, and for me, they don’t feel fun to drive. As a commuter car I could be ok with it, but not for a sports car.

Got her ready for track. Dropped the oil, changed rotors pads and tires.

However, not to be all lecturish, but, I would suggest you crank the coilovers up a notch or two, just in case you hit a swale on the highway -

Yeah true. I've been thinking about raising it up soon so I eliminate the risk of damaging anything. Thanks for the advice man I appreciate it

Oh, I see the aftermarket has had it covered for several years -

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! And no hassle of sanding and painting the OEM badges.
