Cody Wrote:*insertusernamehere* I toured the west coast with these things for 4 months. It's a joke, intending that they practically never spin wheels. They designed the electric motor to lag just a touch from a dead stop to give it sudden yet smooth acceleration to revs around 11k. The i8 is similar in that they retarded initial acceleration to avoid wheelspin. Unlike say.. a Fiat E. Not only is it FWD, it's hasn't been tweaked what so ever and the slightest blip on the "accelerator" will produce some wheel spin and un-earthly torque steer.
I bet an i3 would do an alright holdback though.
