Check out this incredible petrol vs electric drag race!
We’ve got our hands on the awesome Tesla Model S Plaid, and it’s facing off against an insane Corvette C8 that’s been tuned to 1,200hp!!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Tesla, it’s housing three motors under the skin that combine to produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. Naturally, the batteries and motors weigh a fair bit, and the Model S tips the scales at 2,167kg. What’s more, this Model S comes with a few upgrades, including some Koenigsegg carbon fibre aero at the front & around the back!
Then alongside it, we have the Corvette, which has had a whole lot more work done to it than just adding some aero! As a result, the 6.2-litre twin-turbo V8 now produces 1,200hp and an amazing 1,491Nm of torque! So it’s packing a serious punch, but this power is sent to the rear wheels only!
So will the Corvette be able to put the power down? Or will it be a clear win for Tesla? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
Thanks to everyone who helped set up this race:

Carwow showed a 1000hp turbo s lose to a plaid and it only posted a 0.1 second faster quarter mile 😂😂 DragTimes posted a vid of a 1000hp turbo s and it beat a plaid easily.

There should be a way to make the battery produce more power because supposedly the motors arent the limitation, but the batteries anility to supply enough energy since its the same battery as the LR. You can increase power while reducing capacity by changing up the series parallel configuration. you could upgrade the firmware, increase the wire guage for more power input, and upgrade the cooling for the battery. This would lead to hopefully maxing out the plaid's motor potential at the cost of a little bit of weight for heavier wiring, and reduced range.

its set up for drag class rules, requiring a parachute to make multiple passes at or above 150mph in the quarter, and or below 10 seconds. iirc so its essentially a stock plaid, but one that wont get kicked out after the first run at the drag strip. Some strips wont let plaids run at all without a chute, they have notoriously poor brakes even at the first application, because the car uses painfully poor brake components as its only source of traction control. did you know the plaid doesn't even have DOT3 brake fluid? The brake pads are super low temp as well lol...its like they are purposely trying to kill their owners.
That Tesla is special. Is it the same team that made the one Randy Pobst drove (and crashed) on Pikes Peak? Also, futuristic noises mixed with La Cucaracha. Nice.
Carbon ceramic brakes are a pretty common mod on the Plaid. All the body kit did was slow it down by 4/10ths.
we need to see how this modified Tesla gonna do against the normal tesla plaid

No difference. Carwow has already run a stock Plaid and it ran the same time, 9.6s. Anywhere else the Plaid runs 9.2s easily.

This modified Plaid is not for straight line speed as you can see huge front splitter and spoiler which only add more drag, so i believe it is designed to do well at the track and high speed cornering ability.

AWD helps put the power down
Remember that vette is mid-engine, so it has a little bit more traction than the front-engine vettes.

It always amazes me, that a channel that focuses so much on drag races, always forgoes that fundamental part of drag racing. Also, the vette looked like it had about 30psi in the tires. A good burnout, and proper tire pressure would help the vette.
Trust me that C8 os very properly built it was just having a misfire issue but that thing is a rocket 🚀 great work Nathan and Victor can't wait to see it sorted out on the track that thing is gonna hurt some feelings. And the Tesla is just insane out of the hole most cars will get smoked all and all it was a great time with great people CARWOW FTW

Notice how Matt is so low energy and the plaid isn't bringing him any enjoyment compared to other cars he's in 😂😂 but yet this sounds amazing? Did u not hear what It sounds like inside? Dull and boring. This is the only case where the tesla sounded cool from the outside and it was heavily modified. A normal plaid sounds nothing like this. The new bmws can easily beat it with a 10k turbo upgrade. I've never seen a tesla plaid win ever in the street racing scenes. ValleyRacing plaid vs bmw g80 m3 1stockf30 plaid vs bmw m340i Street racing for $ ^^^ plaid loses back too back to the new gen m3 and loses to the new m340i .
At this point, we’ve got to race the plaid with a top fuel dragster. That should cut it

It’s literally got to that on some channels lol. Even on Carwow, it took a £4 million full carbon fibre Bugatti Chiron Supersport to beat it, and even then, it was close. For the money, you simply can’t buy a better all-rounder than the Plaid imo.
