You’re too hung up on the
You’re too hung up on the term “SUV” or CUV. The Mach-E is neither...it’s a hatchback. My current car (2016 Ford Focus RS) is the same. I’ve raced the RS against Mustang V8’s on the drag strip (quarter mile, not eighth) and on a track, and blown past all of the Mustang and Camaro V8’s. 2wd cars have a VERY hard time competing with AWD cars. The Mach-E will outpace your V8, unless you have a very long straight. In the corners, it will eat you alive (where torque is king). Does it look like an SUV to you? “The only constant is change”.
