As an Aston Martin owner I can't help but smile at some of the errors in this thread
Thanks for the comment Jon. I agree that going on a long spirited drive in a Tesla is harder. I drive a few good roads, but they aren't that far away so I don't have much to worry about. I think my main dislike for his comments are around him saying Ludicrous mode itself is stupid and making it sound like they will be able to get significantly more track time on a car with that much power. Maybe they will, but with the power they want to get out of it, I see it being just as much of a problem for AM as it has been for Tesla to allow it to run around a track. If Ludicrous mode makes all 7XXhp available, then how it is really different from a car that will give that much power all the time without a button to turn it off. The naming might be kind of stupid, but I don't know that having separate modes is.
Jon I'm 100% onside with this!
I'm currently in an Exige V6 + the Tesla... However one day I will grow up and buy an AM, but the Tesla will probably stay as a DD
How does the saying go, "two countries divided by a common language"
Oh nice! You're lucky you can have the V6, they aren't street legal in the US. I started planning a widebody turbo Exige 260 build a couple months ago. I found a '07 Exige S though that has been prepped as a track car so that might be a better choice since I'm going to mod it even more anyway.
