I've never experienced ludicrous mode, and I'm not sure I need it. My model 3 is enough speed to make me giggle.

Another interesting phenomenon is that I've noticed it feels faster as a passenger than as a driver. I'm not sure why. Even the sales guy agreed, and he experiences both on a regular basis.
No doubt the passenger effect is there. And that is why projecting as a driver and with the additional ballast I am not entirely sure anything but the initial take-off was noticeably faster than the 997TT.

I know it has AWD but I was still surprised by the amount of traction given that it was only around 40F and the tires were cold.
