How's it stop 70-0? How's it corner? What're the transient cornering responses like? They left off some of the more important performance metrics. ?‍?

Believe review embargo’s lifted today from what I’ve read. The above review is clickbait lol. At least some of the more known ones have some more metrics or spelled better lol. Thought it was reported 11.8 quarter mile. I wa really hoping for 11.3-11.6 even. But the SS & V series Lyriq are on my radar.

I had put a deposit down when first announced. Didn't materialize as promised so cancelled my reservation. I'll wait to see when all the kinks are worked out.

That’s why review was in quotes. ?

This might help

Curb weight NA? This review says they somehow managed to make it weigh about 750lbs more than a Ford Mustang (coincidentally, 750lbs is about what an actual equine Mustang would weigh)...

Another review-

One surprise to me is the WOW mode isn’t short lived. You can keep it on for an entire key cycle.

But the downside? It sounds like the car is pretty slow without that mode turned on and inefficient with it on.

Does it do the whole 5 second limit thing or does tindeliver power til you lift?

Im excited for the extrtra battery capacity compared tot he MME. 102>91.
I know its only 11kwh, but thats like an extra 45 miles for me around town. Or another 30 on the highway.

Unclear.

But I haven’t seen any EVs yet that have two separate power modes like this where there isn’t some sort of a time limit attached.

Other manufacturers like Kia, Hyundai and Porsche call it a “boost mode” and have about a 10 second time limit.

Ford doesn’t have a button or mode, but has a similar time limit for the 2024+ GT models.

Personally I would rather it cost and weigh less. The extra range wouldn’t affect my use case. I wish it was optional.

I would buy the faster cheaper version if offered.

I just saw a blazer on the road today. Not horrific-looking. It was interesting that GM stole the nice, “smooth sequential” turn signal design from our cars ?

Its' stablemate the Cadillac Lyriq subjectively looks better, would cost about the same out the door, and is sitting on a lot near you today...

Based on the 1/4 mile info, I would say no 5 second limit.
