That POS "Sled" can't hold a candle in style, looks, or feel, to my 67 GOAT I picked up in Michigan when I came back from Nam; in fact, most "Junks" today (which nobodgy can tell one from the other) could not either.

Its the reason we used to refer to them (as we did ALL "real cars) back then as "Irons!"

My 4 speed, Posi-Traction, 360 HP, 400 HO, could do 0-60 in about 6.8, not as fast as this model, but I bet mine sounded a lot better and not too sure I couldn't have bested it on the top end.

Would also like to see the stats on its top end as well as how much electric drain there is when one takes off that quickly. There necessarily must be a trade off.

Very nice ride. That’s about 800 lbs lighter than the Tesla too; they were not that heavy at all even with big-block V8s in them. What size rear was yours?

Tesla’s top speed is in the 130-mph range. Might be a decent dragster depending on who is driving it, but it’ll be left in the dust by the vast majority of internal combustion cars in terms of top end.
