This is not the math anyone into performance cars runs because it's never logical and speed tends to be logarithmic in cost. A Plaid is not twice as fast as a Model 3 around any track or dragstrip, yet it costs twice as much. A Camaro ZL1 1LE will run 2% faster than the Plaid at the ring for 30% less. A Model 3 is not twice as fast as a used Corvette around any track, yet it costs twice as much. A Corvette is not twice as fast around a track as a $500 Lemons car, yet it costs 50X as much.the taycan (7:07, $230,000) is ~4% faster around the a track than the plaid ($110,000, 7:25) at ~110% increase in price.
And that's all without getting into the incremental costs of tires, brakes, and fuel/energy as you actually go faster as well.
And none of this matters because not even 1% of us here actually track our cars.
