Mach E Challenge

[Cobrakit]

Anybody else been challenged by a Mach E ? I was in the fast lane at a light and a Mach E was behind me. Didn't think anything of it and took off and saw him.on my bumper. I then floored it and pulled away slowly since I have an A10 and car was already in 3rd. He was accelerating hard, but I did end up pulling away from him. I was surprised that he was that quick I looked up their 1/4 times and its close, with the Upgraded GT a little guicker than a stock DH.

If I see a Mack-E I just thank them with a nod as the European Union requires manufacturer fleets to hit aggressive CO₂ targets. To offset a high-emission vehicle like the V8 Dark Horse, several zero-emission cars must be sold by the manufacture to of set carbon emissions.
Thank you for your sacrifice

I had a Mach-E challenge while I was in my BRaptor. He must have thought I was stock. He soon learned I am not.....

Not the MachE, but some maroon in a Hyundai(?). Guaranteed this ID10T was going to change lanes in front of me and drop anchor to about 10-15 under the limit. It really wasn't a fair fight with the whipple. But then, if they wanted fast, they should've thought of this.

Odio le Mach-E. Non dovrebbero chiamarsi Mustang. Lo stesso vale per gli EcoBoost. Solo i V8 dovrebbero chiamarsi Mustang.

We ordered a Mach-E GT with the performance and handling package for my wife in May. Still waiting for it. I swore I'd never own an electric vehicle, but I was very impressed with the Mach-E. She only drives about 50 miles a week around town, so it should be perfect for her. They don't hold their value very well, but we'll see how it goes.

Bet it was an Elantra N!! There are a few that cruise together in my area of South Houston, with their little pops from the exhaust!! I laugh and let them go about their business cause they don’t want this STOCK smoke!!!

As I am sitting here typing this I am considering selling one of my Harleys and picking up a ZX-14R ABS to use in NH

That bike STOCK pulls sub 10 second 1/4 mile times and is speed limited out of the box to 186

Normally I give EV's their due because of the instantaneous max torque they produce from second 1 but the ZX is intriguing me.... That I'd put up against a Mach E any day of the week

Like Cowboy Coward said to Ned Beatty in Deliverance: "Don't say anything, just DO it."

I have a 2006 '14 since new, and it's still great to ride around on. I think the most I've done / day on it was about 300mi. I also have a tuned 10r abs. It's stupidly quick and very fun.

That said, the most impressive bike for power I've ever threw a leg over was the Triumph Rocket 3. I test drove it, lugged it in 5th(top) gear to 1500 rpm and just twisted the throttle to the stop. It pulled my arms fully straight with zero hesitation and I have no doubt would have kept pulling quite a long way. I know there are quicker and faster bikes out there, but the sheer, raw adrenaline from the R3 is very nice.
