Speaking as a buyer and owner of high end cars, I would never touch a vehicle that had PPF. It looks like shit after a few years and it is almost guaranteed to take paint with it if you try to remove...

The X consistently tests at 3.0-3.3 sec and the Plaid is 2.7. No way, on paper, an RS7 can beat that, especially from a stop.

By the way, Nosferatu in his OP claims he smoked an X with his RS, from a dead stop. The RS clocks in at 0-60 in 3.5sec. The X LR can do it in 2.7. So how is that possible? Wonders never cease to...

Yep it's incredibly fast. So I get smoked. That's fine. Let's see what happens. Just for Sh*ts and giggles. I've smoked P100Ds on a roll before in my C7Z, when that should not be possible on paper. ...

Let's do it. You meet me halfway between TPA and SRQ with 75% charge. We run on the highway and we start at 90mph with pulls to 140-150. Loser sends $200 to St. Jude. Yes, the Plaid runs 9s, but...

You may want to do some research. Most Subaru models are generally considered very reliable - third in line after Honda and Toyota.

But the WRX is NOT one of them. It does not get great scores....

Back on topic -

I tore up a black Plaid the other day on I-75. He tried 3 times to roll race me from around 80mph and I pulled him hard each time. That was in my 2019 E63S with my wife and a full...

Same performance numbers, not at all same power numbers. Both the 458 and the C7Z will give you a 3.0 sec 0-60 and an 11sec quarter mile. Looking beyond that, the 458 is 4sec faster to 250kph and so...

Well, at least the Toyotas don't incinerate their occupants. I would never put my family in a Tesla. Guess I'll be keeping my gas guzzler supersedan a few years more.
