Tesla Model S Plaid

silent_t

Apr 29, 3:39pm

I've looked at those a bit. I like to hear my car so not sure on the Plaid.

Tonto

Apr 29, 3:41pm

What’s your budget? Or are you wishfully thinking?

He said fast and fun. Not fast and boring.

lol at the Elon haters. Incapable of independent thought since buying Twitter.

I'm not an Elon hater. I have however owned over 50 cars and I can honestly say

Moops

That is not true at all.. My Tesla Y is 'more connected' than my BMW 4 Series.

Apparently you've never played w/ a Tesla

Forget about the 4-people thing. Just get a "final year" Camaro with the performance package.

Division Bell

"Seats four people comfortably mid-life crisis car" is an oxymoronic phrase.

Cougar Junkie

Apr 29, 3:41pm

Yeah it probably is. 4 seats comfortably isn't a true necessity. Just trying

The phrase we use is...

The Cadillac CT5-V & CT5-V Blackwing are 4 door with the same engine as Camaro

Daedalus

Apr 29, 4:38pm

That CTV-5 engine (6.2l L9H or LSA IIRC) is a desirable motor to have in a car.

Division Bell

Apr 29, 5:30pm

I pulled the info for the 2024 model directly from the Cadillac website

Daedalus

Apr 29, 5:36pm

That makes sense. I looked at the Gen IV motor specs. The 2024 version would be Gen V. Thanks for the info.

Porsche something

Porsche is what my son says. I've never driven a Porsche so maybe....

Tonto

Apr 29, 3:42pm

Yes on Porsche, but no on 4 doors. Cayman GTS 4.0 or GT4. Then you can say

I'm starting to like that idea.

Yes. I sold it last fall.

I’m past middle aged. I have wanted a Porsche since I was 5. I got mine last

The Panamera is large enough

BMW M5

Penske Material

That one is one my short list.

Tonto

Apr 29, 3:45pm

This is the correct choice, M3 or M5 (M5 better meets the 4 person criteria)

A friend just picked up the i5 w/ all the extras. It's sweet.

It's not a true mid-life crisis if it has 4 doors.

Superkid

Apr 29, 3:45pm

Not one of my three vehicles has four doors, unless one counts the hidden,

Cougar Junkie

It's about 200K. Makes it easier to get a side to go along with that crisis.

Audi RS Q8 for me.

Audi S7 - checks all the boxes

CatamountFan

The RS7 and the RS6 Avant are also on my short list.

Tonto

Apr 29, 3:50pm

on a sheer horsepower & torque basis, it is very tough to beat the S and RS Audi

I'm not completely against the Plaid or an EV. I have a feeling if I drove one

I second, maybe triple the Raptor option.

Buy a trackhawk that has been tuned by Hennessy. It's completely anonymous, great in the snow, and goes 0 to 60 in 2.7

Not at 7100 lbs. But the 850hp makes it feel athletic, not fat.
