Well i thought it was strange because the drawbacks with hybrids had usually, i guess up until now, have been lackluster power and acceleration although substantially improved fuel economy.Originally posted by Accord R33why is that funny? The electric motor gives it a super flat torque curve, and acceleration follows your torque curve

Originally posted by ChrisisicedWhats funny is that they say the accord v6 hybrid had better acceleration than the standard v6
O yeah the caddy cts comes manual too. That thing is reeeeaaaal nice... Too bad i hate american cars. Their designs and styles are too bleh
the cts-v comes in manual.
the xlr-v has a hydra-matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission, and the sts-v comes in manu-matic transmission

if done right, hybrid/electric is one of the quickest ways to get from 0-60. you can precisely computer-limit the torque to the coeffecient of grip of the tires and the concrete so you have a perfect launch every time with max torque that you can actually use at that given moment.
it would take a lot of calculations, but its doable.

i agree electric is one quickest just not efficent.. just remember back to slot cars and the principle is the same through the scales.
