I know it may be a dumb question but thought I'd expose my ignorance anyway
A V6 wouldn't have any trouble with one, let alone an SS


Its a big car, with a gigantic (that is to say, heavy) battery. Total weight is well over 5000 lbs. Since its electrically driven, its strength is low end power. However, that also means it has limited top end power. And it also has only a single gear further hampering its acceleration.
