EV6 GT vs 807hp Black Ghost Challenger
- Thread starter Ws6
- Start date
There’s nothing surprising here, instant torque and the ability to put the power to the ground. I would still take the Dodge over the Kia,…but I’m biased. 
The Kia is very impressive though. I’ve watched other videos covering its performance, some of which you’ve posted iirc, and I’m always impressed with it. Kia has done an excellent job with this vehicle from what I’ve seen.

Despite KIA`s faster 0-60 time that Dodge managed to cross the finish line with a higher speed.
At least it sounds faster. lol
With enough running room it would have passed the EV6 GT. 800+ horsepower with plenty of gearing past the traction issue point is a lot of pull.
With a better start the Challenger would finish with a better result too
Absolutely. That's why I mentioned the traction issues.
I'm not at all convinced it matters to me. Really, it's just a distraction.
In our Gulfstream jet, you cannot hear really the engines. In cruise, not at all. No noise, vibration, whine, hiss, etc. Yet, the performance is epic fun. Sure, part of that is the speed at which it cruises, leaving all the engine noise behind.
A hammer-down I-95 race might be different if the speeds got into the stupid range, which they sometimes do. But even so, that EV6 was pulling hard at 120, and certainly a Plaid would be pulling hard at 150
****. That’s impressive. Makes me want to start looking for one at msrp which is probably a joke
There’s room for all kinds of cars. Those cars are not for me, but they are super impressive. I’m sure their owners love ’em. That’s all that counts.
You can snag one for about 10K off MSRP, now. The market for cars has collapsed.
No it doesn't at all, but where the supercharged Dodge has traction and isn't grabbing a gear every two seconds it'll be in its stride, which says something given it takes it having 800 horsepower to get there. It's top speed ceiling is well above most cars on the market, EV or otherwise.

Challenger is rolling on suspension that had first concept in 1992, and was introduced in the late 1994.
When Mercedes developed that suspension, the strongest engine was AMG E55 with 354hp. So, issues with traction?

If anything its a feature, not a flaw. There's few better experiences that slowly making noise and smoke in a muscle car. That was my biggest appeal to cars as a kid.
Clearly, it does not. The idea that EV's lose power at higher speed persists, as some EV's still do fall flat at higher speeds. Depends on what the manufacturer wants to achieve. The EV6 GT is said to go 161MPH. That requires a steady dose of HP to get there, and is probably motor RPM limited and not HP limited.
By way of comparison, my Jag 380HP F-Type will go, and is, electronically limited to 171MPH, and will supposedly go over 180 with the tune/pulley bringing HP up to 475.
200MPH in a Plaid:
