The ‘Arni’ of muscle cars. That thing is just insane, and to think you can buy it off the showroom floor with a warranty. On ya Uncle Sam

There’ll be a electric car that is faster soon.

The Tesla P1000 can already be “consistently faster” with its AWD system ( and with its “ease to launch” without crazy wheel spin ).

Gotta love the options and pricing list....
