I was watching the "Futurecar" channel last night and they were airing the story of the electric car called the TZero and talking about how quick out of the gate it was.
Pretty impressive times and mileage, just thought it was so strange to see it take off and you heard nothing . . . no VAROOOM
TZero 0-60 in 4.1
Carrera 0-60 in 5.1
