Soemthing like a Tesla Plaid (or even a P120) is light years ahead of a Mach E in performance.

That's a bit of an overstatement, but by your gauge it's also light years ahead in cost.
Also, Car and Driver had this to say about the Mach E

Not as fun to drive as a true muscle car... acceleration zeal past 60 mph drops off quickly.

Meanwhile they called the Plaid terrifyingly fast and blows away exotics, and it tied for the fastest 1/4 mile they had ever tested

I didn't know the machE was supposed to be a muscle car. I thought it was just a small SUV that they oddly put the Mustang name on.
Approximately the same brakes as the Mach E. Maybe worse.
It's like 40+ mph faster in the 1/4 mile (almost 50%)

It does cost double though.
