I dunno.
250 kph (155 mph) doesn’t exactly sound “slow” to me.
Sure you may be able to go faster in a C7 conpar d to the Tesla model, but unless on a track, its just a “bench racing” number.
On the street, it’s more about acceleration than it is speed. There, most of the Tesla models have better 0-60 numbers than a C7. Switch to the C8 though, and the numbers say you better be in one of the quicker model Teslas or you’re going to get mauled pretty badly...
Personally, I’ve never really cared much about top speed numbers. Probably has something to do with how the “Bike wars” went when you suddenly had 180+ Mph Honda Blackbirds, Kawi zx12/14’s and Suzi Busa’s. Sure, one will post the highest top speed, but less than 1% of the riders will rarely see more than half of that top speed number.
No one should be doing 250+ kph on public roads. To me, about all top speed numbers are good for is, ahem.....”measuring”......but not much else. Heck, you’ll rarely even hit 250 Kph even on a track, unless you’re talking 1/4 mile.
But “drag racing” isn’t really what a Corvette is all about....Corvettes are meant to turn. Or at least they are to me, although others may differ (and thats cool too). Corvettes can do well at the drags (or stoplights), but it’s like using a scapel to cut a block of cheese: sure, it will get it done, but it’s not the best tool for the job....
No one (including me) said the tesla was "slow"..... "bench racing" or not, I just responded to a previous post that said the tesla was one of the fastest cars on the road. I believe my words were "The Tesla is not fast. It is quick."
