since when were drift and hydroplane the same thing?

[Gflo79]

This guy can't drift! I seen a few of his vids and they have all been on wet pavement... I can drift a tiny moped or pocket bike on wet roads...

[autofixation]

This guy has one messed up sense of humor...

@seanrquinn What the fuck is the matter with you? Are you 12 or just a stupid pikey? You post bullshit, can't prove it (because it's bullshit) then put this crap on? Grow up.

@hunghuge12 trollololololololololololololo­l

fagget fagget fagget tesla can do it in 3 seconds, which is slower than you, you get from 0-60 in 2. I'm sure all the ladies are very disappointed.

@seanrquinn Show us the proof then. I've never seen it or heard of it so go ahead and post the link. I won't hold my breath.

[seanrquinn]

@hunghuge12 Neither was I, I was referring to the summer (practically track) tires that the car is offered with.

No more troll feeding for me today.

@Gflo79 its not that it takes too much more skill too drift on dry pavement its just that if the car doesnt have enough power then it just isnt so for it to drift on dry pavement therefore he still gives us a great show and just drifts the cars on wet pavement

[hunghuge12]

@seanrquinn I wasn't talking about drag tyres or aftermarket traction control. The claims are as it comes out of the box. You haven't seen one do it pretty easily at all. I've run track experience days for a number of years now and been involved in a lot of testing days too. On the standard tyres and set up 5.0s sounds about right. You might drop that to around 4.8s on a good day with a good surface. 3.9 is pure bullshit for the standard car.

[seanrquinn]

@hunghuge12 Yes I have. With proper tires and the traction control set up for those tires, I have seen one do it pretty easily, I know someone who owns one and have driven it myself.

Will it drift? That is the question.

[DrTaras]

1) 0-60 in 3.9 seconds (3.7 if it were a sport model) not 5.0 seconds!

2) No power sources in the 'middle of nowhere?' Hmmm, wonder what is powering the lights on the house in the background? What I don't see in the background is a gas station!

3) From empty to full charge in as little as 3 hours & with CHadeMo could be 40 minutes!
