#2Don't snowmobiles and jet-skis do 0-100 in a couple of seconds? Why don't they provoke this kind of reaction?

#3A variation of the Brabham BT46 Formula One car used a similar method to increase downforce and grip in lieu of implementing more advanced aerodynamics concepts, which the car's shape didn't allow.

From the entry:
> Brabham's lead driver, Niki Lauda, realised he had to adjust his driving style, mostly for cornering. He found that if he accelerated around corners, the car would "stick" to the road as if it were on rails. This had the side effect of exposing the driver to very high lateral acceleration...

3g on your body, you need a very good grip on that jetski handle...

A quick google shows snowmobiles are doing 0.5 G vs 3G.

there is a huge difference between accelerating to 100 km/h in 1 or in "a couple" of seconds.
given constant acceleration (which is unlikely, first you are traction limited by the tyres, then the highest acceleration, then slow dropoff), accelerating to 100 in 1 second would mean pulling 2.8g, while for 4 seconds it would only be 0.7g.

#7Because this is an electric car and just a few years ago, this was thought to be impossible. The engineering behind achieve this is impressive.

#8Less than 3g? Wierd.

#10impressive, but as I've witnessed a top fuel dragster do 0-320mph in just over 3 seconds (meters away from me!), think I am a bit desensitised.
