The Tesla S on this list hits 60 in 2.5 seconds. That is unbelievable for a sedan.

Nothing like 100% torque available, instantly.

I think the Tesla with its incredible 0-60 frustrates a lot of traditional car enthusiast, but after that ie freeway pulls and speeds where they lock you up if they catch you) the Tesla looses its luster quickly. It just doesn't make the hp to maintain its edge. Though I'm sure the 60-100 is still pretty fantastic.

I like having the power available in my 14 Vette Stingray. I enjoy it immensely. You'd be surprised how often I get to use it and I've had no speeding tickets in three years.

Inquiring minds....

He probably gets special treatment because he's a gold member.

Totally agree, it is a thoroughly enjoyable ride. I ended up with a 15 Convertible Vette due much to the terrific experience with the S2000 and the convertible driving experience. Prior to the S, I had never sought to own a convertible.

Very happy to have both the S2000 and the Vette in my garage. Just would like Winter to be over...Right Now!!!

I have no idea. That's 18 stars. I joined in July 01, so this is my 16th or 17th year.

I don't know about that either. I was once a CO.

Yeah I had an 00 S, an 06 S, and now a 214 Vette vert. I'm hooked on topless. Sorry about your weather. It's been 80° in LA lately. A bad day in LA is any day I can't drop the top.
