OT: Sens Lounge: "Pleeease won't you be.....my neighboµr"

[2CHAINZ]

Geez , you guys talking about these high end cars makes my Kona N seem like child's play.

I can't wait til the next time I buy a car. Hopefully I won't also be buying a house that year and can up my budget a bit.

All these cars are out of reach.

Have you guys ever tried the kia ev6 GT or the Hyundai ioniq 5 N? How would those compare to cars like the Durango hellcat or the Porsche Macan or the SQ5 (the cars mentioned in the last couple pages). I've been parking next to this ev6 GT and that thing reminds me of Porsche electric cars. So sleek. A neighbour of mine has the ioniq 5 N and it looks like an oversized retro 80s hot hatch and I think that's kinda cool.

I keep hearing great things. Was curious if anyone here has driven them and has opinions?

Nah Kona N is fun as hell. Elenatra N is awesome too, ioniq 5 N is the only electric car I'd even consider buying right now, the thing is amazing. I am loving what Hyundai/Genesis are doing right now. I feel like every electric car manufacturer is going to copy the Ioniq 5 N and the first one to have the car make exhaust noises on the outside is going to make a lot of money.

@Tnuoc Alucard

you figure the Trumpster is pulling people's legs with his cabinet nominees??

I have been damn near killing myself laughing. I am waiting for Crusty the Clown and Side Show Bob to be announced as the next candidates for open Secretary positions!

Is he outsmarting everyone. Just f***ing around, being serious, or just throwing a match to set all that he can on fire.

Aren't the ioniq 5 N and the ev6 GT very similar though? They share a lot of things.

I'd give the edge to the kia in looks on this one.

I never even heard of the GT I just googled it and I like Ioniq 5 N better. I am sure they are similar, kia and Hyundai are the same company or share the same stuff, however they are doing it.

Runs out of steam?

According to fastestlaps

Ev6 0-60: 3.1
Hellcat 0-60: 3.4

Ev6 0-100: 7.5
Hellcat 0-100: 8.9

Ev6 1/4 mile: 11.4 @ 121mph
Hellcat 1/4 mile: 11.7 @ 117mph

Ev6 lateral G: 0.92
Hellcat lateral G: 0.90

Ev6 u drag: 33.80
Hellcat u drag: 36.00


The hellcat does have a higher top speed, but it seems you have to be going well over 200km/h before the hellcat would have any type of advantage.

It seems to be ahead in terms of maybe a mile long airport runway style race, but otherwise, in town acceleration, or around the track handling and braking, seems to be the edge to the ev6 GT on paper over the Durango hellcat.

Like micklebot said, it's more of a "throw more power at a regular car" type of thing rather than something built for performance for the ground up.

If you are a car person with car DNA, electric cars can perform in whatever which way. The emotions are completely nil. That's not my cup of tea. Screaming, muscle car sounds are a lot more engaging. I cannot pry this thing from my wife's hands if I want to sell it and get something else. She loves this thing.

Maybe it's the bright lime green brake calipers that remind me of the Porsche 918 Spyder lol but I like it.

Oh I agree with you about exhaust sounds and everything.

I was addressing the running out of steam part, unless I misunderstood it. I took it to mean that after a certain speed the acceleration falls off...but the stats don't really show that. It traps at a higher speed in the 1/4 mile.

But I agree I would rather a big turbod v8...but since companies aren't really making those anymore, I have to adjust my wants for my future realistic dream performance car.

Those stats are more than likely on a full charge which will slowly diminish the more you keep on it. The ICE motors have the same constant performance regardless of full tank and empty tank. That’s what’s hard for me to accept in a full EV. My wife’s is a 2021 and I have an extended warranty for 5 years. If I get rid of this, I am under strict orders to allocate a 2025 which is the last final version lol. The girl really loves this. Never mind the kids, especially the boy. He loves this overweight, horsepower king.

Interesting! I knew that they go into power saving mode under a certain percentage but I didn't think it was gradual...yet I'm seeing plenty of people only say their 0-60 times degrade with battery charge. Like every 10% it goes down a few decimals. Interesting indeed. I wonder why a 50% charge would produce less power than 100% charge? Is it a setting or is it like physics kind of like a PSI type of thing if that makes any sense.

Anyone watch the new Dune premiere on HBO? Was alright but I really am not a fan of the Brian Herbert stuff. Too schlocky.

Checked out the first episode btw. First half I'd agree was somewhat painful. Then it kind of found its groove and the atmosphere took over and I actually got pretty into it. Wanted it to keep going.
