ptjones Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I haven't drag raced MADMAX in along time, but today a F150 2015 or earlier V8 tried to pass me on the right from a stop at a light. I was doing my usual EV to 15 mph then ICE to 55mph. Apparently he thought being an Hybrid I would be easy to pass, WRONG :) He got about a half a car length ahead of me by the time I floured MADMAX , I caught him quickly so he floured it and we went door handle to door handle to 60 mph. He had to slam on his brakes to keep from hitting a car in front of him and I moved over to the left turn lane, he gave me a thumbs up which I returned. :) I can't get over how FUN this car is to drive. :yahoo: Paul SnowStorm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 It's hard to beat how well ICE and EV complement one another! EV torque is current-limited at low RPM, while ICE torque peaks at high RPM. You can't lose when you punch it!Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktmdrz400 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Finished my first week pf driving new to me 2014 C-Max. Like PT I'm always trying to maximize EC mode. 3 rd day of ownership. I'm pulling out of am intersection on a back road and the truck that was following me tried to pass me at about 15mph while still in EV....As he was about even with me I stomped on it and left him in the dust. Love my "sleeper" ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
