I mean, the reason I fell in love with cars in the first place was hearing the old 5.0s with flowmasters roaming the streets in the early 90s. They weren't even fast, but damn they sounded like sex
Exactly, I traded my Tesla Model 3 Performance for a ZL1. It is quicker to 60mph and less expensive to operate but that is about it. Falls flat after 60mph and the experience is pretty numb. Great all around car/daily driver but does not get the blood pumping if you know what I mean.

Here is a good example, look at the speeds and G-forces here on the Model S Plaid. Impressive, but this has to be the most unexciting 9.42 second 1/4 mile pull in history. Don't get me wrong, you appreciate the performance for what it is but that doesn't mean it necessarily more fun to drive. This is precisely why I went out and bought the ZL1 before they stop making them.
