Great variety there. Re-inforces my bias that Pontiacs accelerate very well under load.
The Hellcat seemed slow huh. |

Nice little video to watch, thanks for posting it.
You have a good looking first gen there Scott, good job driving around the Tesla. This makes me want to get my junk running, hopefully I will Sometime soon.

Have raced several Hellcat Redeyes on Slicks (797HP), haven’t lost to one yet. I was a gear head first, many muscle cars; this just happens to be the fun car of the moment. |

Rematch, sorry for red lighting! (again!)
Sorry for red lighting on you again Scott! I know just how fast your Firebird is, so I cut it too close at the tree. (-0.007 this time)
A real shame too, since our ETs were so very close. That’s 3 wins for you, zero for the Tesla! https://youtu.be/HoEV73cmmRg (Last run of the night) Looking forward to running again some time- |

It's "shocking" to me how fast it goes. Have you ever found a Demon Challenger to race ? Have you ever raced another Tesla ? Is yours optimized for competition - weight reduction, etc ... ...and thanks for letting Stoneburg outrun you - we needed that. |

Welcome to PY, Tesla Plaid Channel!
I think the Tesla is cool, it would be something I would do since I hate being like 95% of the others.

Sounds good! Bradenton has Test N Tune on Thursdays, I’m out there a couple times each month. Best ET so far is a 10.4 @ 125 with battery preheat, but usually 10.6s with no prep whatsoever.

I’ve raced all other Tesla models, and none have laid down a better ET yet. I usually give them “the hit” to make it interesting, and a virtually identical 2020 Model S edged me out after I gave him the move. He was still a couple tenths slower, entirely due to his 21” wheels. (Mine has 19’s for this very reason.) You can find races against the S and X on my channel. Here’s an article written about a recent race I had with the fastest Model 3: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/t...ce-145381.html No mods. I’ve tried other tires but the stock Michelins 4S have been fastest. I keep it empty and I rarely use the launch mode. |
