For folks that love acceleration more than top end, try a Tesla S. In October I spent a weekend with an old friend in Longmont, Colorado and test drove his 2015 Tesla S 85D. It isn't even the fastest of the Teslas, but Wow with Dual motors, no wheelspin and just amazing acceleration. It felt like that push into your seat you get with a Jet plane as it hits full thrust on take off, but absolutely quiet. I floored it at a standstill and let off the pedal at around 80mph + and it was still pulling with no end in sight. Just amazing. There is a ride at DisneyWorld called "Test Track" that is similar but you are just a passenger.

For a 5,000 pound car with 422 HP they run pretty well. 4 second 0-60 and a 12.7 quarter lets them hang right there with a Camaro SS or GT Mustang.

My neighbor had a Tesla, and one day told me that while my car was nice, it was time to ride in a fast one. As Calvin mentioned, the lack of engine noise was eerie, but the speed was linear and similar to being in a jet during takeoff, just shoving you back in the seat. I like the sound of an engine, but I thoroughly enjoyed this experience as well. Times are changing, I can appreciate both; a fast ride is a fast ride, it had its own cool factor.Life without passion is no life at all.
