I'm not a Ford guy, but.............

1956 Continental Mark II

the first 3 1/2 minutes were especially brutal

unfortunately, none of them were anything to be proud of

It shows, again, how far things have come.

I had FWD cars "back in the day".  If you pushed them at all in a corner, well, the front would not go where the tires were pointed.  (Understeer).

I have an FWD car now with a fair bit of power and it's never understeered on me.  If I accelerate quickly with it set on Comfort or Normal, the engine bogs down to prevent tire chirp, but if I do it set on Sport, that doesn't happen, I get a bit of wheel spin depending and the engine churns.  Those pony cars had 5.0 L and 5.7 L engines and produced less power than my 2.0 (thanks to a turbo and FI and dual cams and a computer).

It would be interesting to see a video of it running that road course in the hands of someone competent.

well, a turbocharger and supercharger are not exactly the same thing but,.......

 2015 corvette LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm

The nature of "sporty EVs" is going to change, I suspect.  They will be clutchless of course, for one thing, have tremendous torque, a lot of low end weight (low CoG), and tires that are perhaps interesting if they go with low rolling resistance as an option.  If they put stickier tires on it would reduce range.  And most will be AWD with a lot of computerisms to send torque to each wheel independently.

They may even have "piped in sound".

I think on balance they will be very fast and rather boring.
