Way too many scene cuts going around the U! At least show the whole turn in one continuous shot at some point, please

Porsche owner and enthusiast for life, but damn, that Plaid for under $100k vs the Porsche at $250K... That Plaid is hard to beat for the price.

All this proves is that a 2021 $50,000 plaid is the performance bargain of a lifetime.

They can finally drive the taycan! Lucid vs taycan they got just 1.31 Gs and now 1.41 Gs ... looks like the taycan does indeed corner better then the lucid!

One thing with U Drag is u can see these guys turn slower or wider to favor one car over the other or they exit slower.
