we are not discussing anything other than comparing what the Model 3 did compared to the 458, as was brought up in the article |

Are you upset because Motor Trend is suggesting an electric commuter sedan is faster around a track than your 458? LOL Lighten up. They just wanted to get clicks on their article, and it's always fun to compare the sports sedans to the pure sports cars. By the way, if the question is how many laps the model 3 performance can do, I can tell you first hand from taking mine to Sonoma it will do a 30 minutes lapping session just fine. The weak link is the PS4S street tires. Or is there another question you thought I was evading? |

At the end of the day this appliance is trying too hard to be "liked" instead of being different for what it is I don't own a 458, nor would I ever not the car for me Why would I get mad ? It's the interwebz You seem very invested in defending tsla I just call it how it is Boring appliance with shoddy build quality and even worst reliability 27th I believe Those are just facts man , they don't care about offending anyone |

I'm invested in trying to help people see past their biases about EVs by sharing a balanced POV about owning an EV and comparing it to my old F80 and my current Porsche As I type I'm looking back at photos of the light up ///m logos in the front seats of my old car, and chuckling at your comment of "trying to hard to be liked" |

Here's Mountainpass Performance's review of Performance Model 3 with Track Mode after racing at Global Time Attack Superlap in Buttonwillow:
They put up time that would've placed them 1st in class, but got disqualified because some protested using a loophole saying they were not using the allowed "fuel". lol |

From the other posts, official competitor Rogers did a 2:00 and Mount Pass driver Amis did a 1:59 Most impressive for me is the Miata with LFX v6 swap that's 1s away from fastest time of the day, and was ahead of the viper and Gt3 in its class. |

Anyone know if visual differentiation like aero or unique colors to the M3P are in the works, besides bigger wheels and brakes?
Call me shallow, but that's one of the things that always drew me to M3s — it's hard to confuse them for a base 3-series (okay maybe the E36). |

white interior is available on AWD models so isn't a reliable indicator of trim level. The CF rear spoiler and "dual motor red underline" badge are not yet available.(I am likely going to mount both of those in my garage rather than on the car. ) if you really need that "visual differentiation" I recommend skipping the sedans and getting a wide body 911 with a foot tall fixed rear wing. |

Thats because only Californians can afford them and just about every person you talk to wants to be a social justice hero for driving an electric car....

I was watching Matt Farah's podcast/youtube where he mentioned how amazing it was that the new model 3 perf can program the front wheels brake regen to create entry oversteer on a corner.
I think the point is that the future of these electric cars is a complete revolution in the way our current "analog" minds work on the track. computers and electric motors are going to make amazing drivers out of all of us it seems. Still, it is too early for me to make a purchase because I hate awd for a sports sedan/sports car, and the weight- I also am concerned about the drive becoming too numb, and the computers doing too much... so I'll keep driving my horse drawn carriage til they can address these things for me.
