If you care about 0-60 time, you're probably getting a Corvette ZR1 or a Hellcat. If you want something with more than a Cobalt interior, a BMW or Lexus. If you want top of the line with bleeding edge tech, you get a Tesla.

the "top of the line bleeding edge" is a porsche 918, not a tesla. p85's are nice but let's not kid ourselves here.

Oh come on now. I can fit my entire family in a Model S (with luggage) and still do 0-60 on 2.8 seconds. That is, by definition, bleeding edge.

At this point a Porsche is a glorified garage queen.

EDIT: A Porsche 918 MSRP is almost $845K and it's only 0.6 seconds faster than the Model S (P85D). They've made less than 1000 units.

I'm 32 and male. I'm from the practical scene, not the car scene.

the vast majority of vehicles are, wait for it, bought by people who are not car guys.

Regulate it more, please. HN is for comments that are civil and substantive. You've made both uncivil and unsubstantive comments in this thread. We need you not to do that.

This... isn't a car forum. Excuse me, but are you lost or something?
