Moral of the story, it takes a fully built, Stage 3, 1,030 WHP xDrive G80 to keep up with a stock, non track pack Plaid.
Dont mess with a Plaid. |

I agree but the fact that the M3 was able to launch so well, and keep the power down against a car that makes full torque immediately, was rather impressive to say the least. The braking did surprise me though.

The fact that a new Plaid is what, like $93k? That's insane. |

True, on the former. On the latter, that's only been the case recently. Previously the Plaid was 130-135K which could have gotten you an M3 and a lot of mods for well under that. Now the Plaid is 93K, and that's before the 7500 tax credit...so even less considering that.

Plaid is one trick pony flattered by the huge power advantage. Nothing else

The Plaid absolutely has flaws.. Calling it a one trick pony is extremely shortsighted, however. Especially with the track pack brakes.

Give credit where credit is due. Obviously, the instantaneous torque and power of the Plaid is impressive. Super cars can’t compete with the straight line performance of the Plaid, at least, to 160ish mph. I don’t own a Plaid as I’m just not a EV guy. When I fart, I want it to rip even though a silent “woosh” may produce more thrust.

Where do you see the 7,500 tax credit for the Plaid? |

The Plaid, currently, only gets a 7500 dollar lease credit spread out over the term and not for finance or cash buys ...
