Electric vs Gas

An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    There is a huge difference between a finely tuned V8 with an appropriate muffler versus a gas lawnmower, but to each there own.

    Great username btw

      Mr. Monkey subjectively your finely tuned v8 sounds like a 400lb basement dwelling gorilla someone has fed laxatives and recorded from the bottom of a well used coachella porta potty.

        I dunno, I’m “team electric is objectively better in every way” but I gotta agree, a fancy tuned racecar engine sounds like angry beast and that’s pretty sexy.

        The jolt of max acceleration of an electric motor in complete silence is also extremely sexy, though.
