The other day I was at a stop light next to a hopped up Civic with a fart-can exhaust pipe. I got to wondering if the Bolt was faster than a Civic Si. I did some research and the answer is yes (depending on the year & trim). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chevy Bolt clocks in at 0-60 mph\u00a0in 6.4 seconds, and a quarter mile\u00a0in 14.9. My old WRX could run the 1320 (1\/4 mile) in 14.3 seconds<\/a>.

    BTW, if you’re into sport tuning the Bolt EV Tuning facebook group<\/a> is a great resource, you’ll find people doing autocross, track days, installing sway bars & coilovers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
