part of the plaid absurdity is how fast it can be in regular conditions. People have clocked mid 9s on the street just flooring it without putting it in warm up or launch mode. These 9 sec big turbo drag radial nitrous cars would get absolutely obliterated by one on a normal street conditions.

I was chatting with my non- car buddy the other day about how fast the car really is. He knows my exige to be a relatively quick car. I told him plaid would be going 100mph right about when I reached 60 and would be doing over 150mph well before I could get to 100.

It really is just crazy-absurd fast for what it is. I think maybe too fast. Unfortunately I fear some people are going to get themselves in trouble and cause some harm as more of these hit the road. I hope I am wrong, but I can just see it: little jonny borrowed moms plaid to take his friends to the movie, he was cruising 70 on the freeway and floored the car for 4 seconds and was doing 150 and ran into a school bus.

There have always been crazy fast cars for the context but never quite this accessible.
