EVs didn't get better, ICE cars just turned to fat lard

just saw this: https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-new-bmw-m5-is-heavier-than-an-x5-slower-than-the-old-m5-to-60?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2BfVzb8U9lo6-eWueZ3Vu0wH42N9dz78Xw7YgekrTHq4OZEx_mbIuMwew_aem__ kJYK-DpPI0FusKIDTBFJQ

the new M5 is over 5000lbs.

the new M4 starts at 3,800lbs!
new corvette is 3,640lbs.
new mustang GT is 37000lbs.
new camaro SS is 3,696lbs.
even a new 911 is 3,4000lbs!

4000lbs is the new 3000lbs.

tesla model 3 performance: 3,800lbs


EVs didnt get better, ICE cars all just became hot, heavy, garbage.



automakers gotta figure out that the only way ICE is going to survive against EVs, is light, and cheap. because unlike EVs range is largely detached from curb weight (adding a couple gallons to the fuel tank doesnt add hundreds of pounds).

meanwhile, the ND3 ... Curb weight: 2,400lbs. GT86: 2800lbs

like it can be done. dont tell me it cant be done, it is being done.

even the new supra is "only" 3,2000lbs. only, lol. imagine a world where a car based on a small roadster is a 3000+ lbs car .... what a joke.
