. I just don’t understand why they need all that.

Power sells, they can give that insane 0-60 sprint for very low cost, so it gets people to buy their product instead of a 6 liter V8.

    It's so sad, because we could make really great shitbox econo cars now. China, Japan and India are doing it, meanwhile in the U.S. we're needing side-step assistance to climb into our tower-viewing position $80K+ ROADMASTER trucks and SUVs.
