Chevrolet invited local media and "influencers" to autocross the Bolt EV against the Volkswagen GTI. LA Car's resident SCCA racer accepted the invite, and the results are surprising:

"Lightning Bolt - We autocross the Chevrolet Bolt EV at Santa Anita Park. The end result? Tires torn up, minds blown"

Really? You couldn't remember which car was faster? And pictures of the shredded tires referred to in the title? :mrgreen: Not much meat, mostly fluff.

I would hope that any serious competitive comparison would put proper sticky tires on the Bolt EV.
Per the article;

"we were greeted by a small fleet of Bolt EVs — some on all-season tires and some on stickier summer tires — as well as a Volkswagen Golf GTI"

A "back of the napkin" course time comparison for each driver;
