Got it. Sounds like the extra mass is noticeable when you’re wanting to do something sudden with the car. Along those lines, I think the weight issue is why the big EV makers haven’t shown much interest in putting an EV sports car on the market. I read somewhere that Porsche was looking at doing an electric 911 but wound up abandoning the project.
I belonged to car clubs with similar sports cars to mine, and we would get together for spirited drives on country roads and mountain roads. More than once, guys would spin out and almost lose control. A close friend of mine would race same car at Sonoma Raceway for vintage sports racing, one time lost it on a turn, busted a rear wheel off and hit a wall going backwards, no injuries. He would use special slick sticky tires for the track, but that won't guarantee overcoming inertia. Plus the tires were expensive and quickly wore out during racing.
So if EV makers build sports cars, it's unlikely tires built for the masses will keep the car on the road during high acceleration on turns. Too much risk of crashes and bad publicity.
