170hp is way to weak for me.

What? I had a 2000 Ford Explorer sport V6 with 160hp it’s nickname was the race exploder it was quick as all get out it’s curb weight was 3680lbs your hybrid can’t weight more than 3900lbs and has the advantages of maximum torque at zero rpm due to the electrics. The F150 from that same era had a six that was also 160hp and well over 4500lbs.

If you want a sports car buy one my Model 3 has 425hp to and 100% torque from a standstill it will do 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds it’s much faster than my turbo S60 I let my wife race me in it down the tollway the other day to see the difference.

The Tesla was walking away at up too the electronic limited 160mph as hard as it was at 100. I have the stones to pull to 160 I took my SAAB over 180 on a number of times radar verified. The SAAB had 450 to the wheels with a crate motor 70mm Garrett boost controller and 7:1 pistons everything was forged from the piston down. The Model 3 would eat the SAAB alive until 160 no comparison.
