Default It's Electric!

The future is here.. it sat right next to my stang. All electric Tesla Roadster.

This thing is so torquey.. if you've ever played Mario Kart, its like when you hit the mushrooms and get that instant burst of speed.. very rockety.

No power steering, but the wheel is small enough to manhandle as you please.

Enjoy.

I would imagine the power steering isn't very energy friendly electric wise!

haha i wish, more like I got stuck with some mitsubishi galant for 3 months..

That test drive was seriously insane though, 0-60 in 3.7.. completely SILENT..

All you hear is the wind going by and see the road turn blurry--too fast to focus on the speedo

I bet that test driving that would have been a hell of a drive. But I would still go home to the stang. She so perrrty.
