Get your hands on a gas with a CVT (continuously variable transmission). It’s the lack of gear shifts that feels pretty slick.
If it’s environmentally responsible thrills you want then you may be better served by a gas motorcycle. My cheap, shitty 650 easily keeps up with the quad motor Teslas. It cost me $2.5k.
I’m not sure I’d call running a 650 engine as a form of entertainment environmentally friendly. Certainly moreso than buying a new car, electric or ICE, purely for entertainment, but you can’t handwave away the current or previous environmental impact the vehicle had prior to the $2.5k you paid for it.
As soon as there’s practical alternatives I’ll take responsibility for the tiny bit of emissions I produce with my 1.6L and 0.65L.
Show me an electric car as reliable, repairable, and inexpensive as my $5k car or $2.5k bike. Or, buy me the environmentally responsible vehicle of your choice so I can sell it and buy myself another gas vehicle, and two more for those that need them and can’t afford them.
You appear to have no idea about the difference in torque between an EV and conventional.
My first bachelor’s is in ME - Auto. But, no degrees are necessary to understand F=MA. They started teaching it in high school in the 90s.
