The Opel is angry no doubt about it.

For fun lets match the current EV record holder at Nurburgring - the Porsche Tycan Prototype against a 6 year old ICE car with a 14 year old technology based ICE engine.

I chose the old 2014 Z/28 (bad heads and all) for this match up because it is normally aspirated and has lap times that are closest to the current EV world record holder.

The times:

Porsche Tycan Prototype 7:42

Production Camaro Z/28 7:37







If you would rather drive the Porsche please explain why I have a genuine interest, and I am sure GM does as well

this is an interesting article,
I think the only way to save the ICE long term is to go with a synthetic fuel and they can use Green energy to make the fuel


synthetic fuels can make combustion engines CO2-neutral
