In the outside world, performance as it how fast can I go from zero to 60MPH is KING!!!
Even with the Tesla and other EVs often how fast they are is all important.
The fact that a super heavy Tesla can go drag racing and beat mayor full on drag racers is a odd waste its tech.
Meanwhile we have stock cars with 500 and 700HP.
I have never had any thing more powerful that 240HP. This is what my 03s are rated, both the Crown Vic and the Explorer.
I feel they are faster than I need. And I do enjoy winning 90% of all intersection drag races with them.
Yet there are tuners that can up the game, more HP more Torque and harder higher RPMs shift points.
If that was my goal I have a number of tunes to pick from. Lots of them.
And to be allowed to do this a license a legal permit costs only $50.00, plus a $300/$400. tuner.
BUT NO ONE does tunes for MPG, even though there a know number of things that can be done, tunes for better MPG and at the same time more power.
One loophole is that at WOT Wide Open Throttle all fuel injection programs go open loop and disregard the O2 sensors and run off the fueling/timing tables, so they are allowed to skip smog control during full power burns.
So a faster tire rubber power take off is allowed but not MPG, and almost everyone that wants a tune wants more power.
We have been racing ever sense we began to walk and run. And of course servivial has often depended on speed.
