Noise is inherently part of the aura of hammering on a vehicle , whether at the track or a short burst on the highway, and as quiet as the EV machines are , I felt it would be impossible for me to get into one. Well ,bingo, I will be the first to admit I was horribly wrong because after hammering a new Porsche Taycan at our Porsche Store ( my son Ryan is a Salesperson there) I can be converted immediately. Ryan took me out for a drive and hit the pedal to the metal right out of the box, and I looked like a bobble head doll under that rapid acceleration - literally banged my head against the back of the seat. Holy poo-poo , the machine is insane and easily faster than my Boss S and I hesitate to say this , but probably quicker to 60 than my 2013 Viper GTS. I am way more excited about the Mustang EV now, because it will definitely be more in the price range of my wheelhouse.
After my son stopped and told me to switch sides I was blown away even further as this German may-sheen hooks up like who laid the chunk ---- AWD , no slip , just go-go! Cornering was full on SportsCar solid and crisp and knowing the guys working on the Mustang EV I think we are in for a bigger treat than we even expected. I am right at 99% sure there will be one at the Ford and Mustang Roundup at Motorsports Park Hastings in early October ( racemph.com ) and like the GT 500 that was there last year, I would bet a bundle it will see track time!!
Anyway, Porsche did another cool move by making a unique built in sound system to give you and aural feeling of the cars propulsion and though it does not sound like a gasoline motor, it does surround you with the sensation of it's speed.
Oh, well, I was a huge anti-electric driver, but it is amazing how terrific speed and handling easily changed my mind. Bring on the Blue Oval Battery Beast , I am shockingly excited and will definitely get a charge out of it when it shows up in our showrooms.
