The tricks and driving were cool as always, and he clearly loves the instant torque of those electric motors.

Car even looks cool, but it sounds so so lame. Like I'm at the dentist. Will take time to get used to this.

I have to question the tire compound used. Even with the high torque EV drivetrain capable of overloading the drive wheels, there is a lot of non-powered sliding that just seems to indicate the tires lack grip. I've not yet googled it, but he must have had to relearn the Hoonigan stick as it's probably an EV torque control shifter vs. brake control.

I still like the Mustang the best.

Cool stunts in a very impressive car, but the horrid sound of EVs just can't match the passion that ICE stirs within the soul.

EVs have their place, but not for stuff like this. Boooooooring.

I always enjoy watching Ken hoon around, but this felt like I was watching it on mute. The lack of noise coming from an engine at full song kills much of the excitement.
