Great video and surprising winner! I won't spoil it if you haven't watched it.

Great video! And that result may raise a few eyebrows.

Sports cars without engine noise? Tell me it ain't so! Why, half the enjoyment would be taken away!

I switched from an IS350 that revved to 7000 RPM (RR Racing tune) to a Polestar 2 with almost no sound and have never looked back. Different type of thrill. Especially when I see the faces of the Mustang GT, Charger RT/SRT, BMW M2/M3/M4 drivers faces in the rear view mirror

To me the Ioniq 5 N is a masterpiece. It's only downside... dealerships

You came from a slow midrange "sports" car, nothing special or even close to anything you supposedly beat.

Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Couldn't help yourself, could you? Expensive sports cars getting owned by a $50k EV broke the straw 🤣 BTW we were talking about engine sounds, not speed

Hopefully you got it out of your system and we can move on and be friends again 😉

Not being nasty here, but you made quite the pun....."never looked back".....except to look back at the drivers faces in the rear view mirror! LOL.
Didn't mean to offend you....more power to you for enjoying your EV.....same way I enjoy my gasoline engine sounds.

If you have something like M5 Competition sure, you win.

But anything under 500hp just makes this annoying noise and does not go.
