Save a lot of money if you wait for the Tesla roadster and it's just as quick as of right now.

 All the people who race them say it's boring to drive tho.
 It's too easy to drive.

 Hard to imagine a bunch of those driving on the streets in the uninitiated drivers hands.

  Torque vectoring and you don't get full power until 80 mph.
1020 HP.
0 to 60 in 2 seconds
60 ft in the 1 50's but the back half is  stupid fast,
After tax here is around $200,000.

I also like this statement

What was Max Wertheimer theory?
Image result for wertheimer and einstein
Max Wertheimer was one of the founding members of Gestalt psychology. According to his theory on Gestalt psychology, “There are wholes, the behavior of which is not determined by that of their individual elements, but where the part-processes are themselves determined by the intrinsic nature of the whole.

So I've used up all my time and now you want me to go twice as far. Government math?

Truckers are expected to do that every day,
And they wonder why there is a shortage.

Yep; but it proves you have to think way outside of the box some [all] times.

 we have a hill. It's 1 mile up and 1 mile down. constant grade.

My car is lacking power so can only average 15mph going up. How fast do I have to go down to average 30mph

 Hint; the answer is not 45 mph.

Large car is trucker lingo for class 8 trucks,
 They get the manifolds hot and cool many times a day.
Even if they are cast, I don't see the issue if they last,
Places like Bully Dog and others can port and polish them and that brings the pyro numbers way down.
Could back pressure be part of the problem?
Could a ''proper'' cool down help?
