| Sure, if you can do this: * know you need to accelerate ahead of time * hit the exact right RPM before the clutch drop * don't mind the noise, burning tires, and clutch wear * have perfect traction, weather, straight road, temperature * execute two perfect shifts With normal driving you also have to worry about what gear you are in, what gear you want to be in, handling the throttle in the mean time, and turbo lag. By the time you go from say cruising on the highway in 6th and full throttle in 3rd the model 3 will already have a substantial jump on you. The telsa on the other hand is pretty simple, just stomp. There's no wrong gear to be in, no shifting, not much noise (traction control and no gas motor). In a wide variety of situations a Tesla model 3 (at least the large range version) is going to feel faster than a WRX. I have had both a forester xt and a WRX. |
