i3 takes on Volt

[Fedie]

So I was out at Toronto Motorsports track with a buddy of mine doing laps with an Ariel Atom, thanks to the guys of GTA Exotic rentals and the guy who ran the program had a Chevrolet Volt. We chatted for a bit about EVs here and there then we decided it to have a shot a the track.
I can tell you was a lot of fun, a ton of body roll I felt that I was back on a Citroen 2CV.
I can sure say I enjoy it, I was too exited that I forgot to remove traction control or put the car on roller mode so I lost quite a bit of power due assist tech intervening. Anyways here it is.

Looks like Volt and its more "normal" form factor and tire size is walking away as much as other cars on the track would let it.

A while back I did a side by side comparison of the Volt and my i3 REx, here's the link to the post for those interested:
