Happen to follow Cleetus McFarland on You Tube? He bought a Daytona Scat Pack a few weeks ago and dyno tested it this past week. It hit 686 HP but had a very strange looking power curve.I heard it will Almost have as much power as the Daytona, if true, that should be a 10 second car.
Yeah, that is actually how it looks on an EV, after initial rise to peak torque, power is actually constant and torque drops. And they had the torque scale wrong because they didn't know how the rpms work. Final overall ratio is 11:1 kind of like staying in 2nd gear all the way to 135 MPH. And in a "normal" car, by the time you are going 135, you are deep into higher gears, and your torque to the road is way down in the same way. And if they took it to the track first or charged up again, it would have gone quicker (same as the prep other guys do a the track on gas cars, and I wish they showed how launch mode was setup. I found not using it, and just rolling it on quickly was the fasted. I ran 11.4" multiple times in my Daytona and hit @124 in the ¼ mile.Happen to follow Cleetus McFarland on You Tube?

I saw a quick reel of some idots doing a Tug of war with a Daytona and some sort of Truck. It was interesting how the front wheels of the Daytona smoked up far more than the rear. Weight distribution?? It could not pull the truck, but one way to do a burnout I guessYeah, that is actually how it looks on an EV, after initial rise to peak torque, power is actually constant and torque drops.

THAT would be Cleetus! It sounds like he really stirred up the EV community! He does make some good points though.I saw a quick reel of some idots doing a Tug of war with a Daytona and some sort of Truck.

It will probably be yellow & black, right?Sounded like the video was saying 'back in yellow"? Maybe it's a new color also
My co-worker has one of those. 2012 SRT Yellow Jacket M6. Cool car for sure!
