    That second race was great but those 3 electric motors and AWD are hard to overcome. You’d have to be making more HP than a 170 makes to reel it in and go around it. Usually ICE cars with 1300hp or more are able to stay in front of Plaids. Anything less and it’s close unless it’s a real lightweight car.

As I said in another comment, once launch control software gets more advanced and practical for aftermarket racing purposes, EV's wont really stand a chance. We are some years away though from TC being able to perfectly control a petrol engine launch and distribute the power properly.

    Its an electric car with perfectly controlled power ramp.. Tbh, I have never understood trying to compare EV's to piston/petrol cars. Its pointless comparison. Launch Control Software just isnt quite there yet to control piston engines on launches yet. Porsche is really good, but its so absurdly complicated that it is not practical for aftermarket use yet. Itll get there tho. But then again, much of the fun of drag racing, is dialing in your car. Thats why Tesla's are so lame and boring at the strip. You just run the exact same time every time and there is next to no driver or team input into the car.

    @@TheMadmax0609 huh? upset? Why would I be upset? Tesla is not the perfect drag car, not even close. I was simply pointing out, EV cars are a completely different category. Just like all petrol cars have classes, EV's are their own class. EV's will never be able to compete with combustion drag cars competitively as the power needed would be insane and would make the cars too heavy. Tesla's at the moment, are probably pretty close to the best they can be. I would say probably a low 7 is the fastest an EV could run, unless some miraculous battery technology came out in the future. But to my point about classes, just like there is engine and drivetrain classes, putting an EV up against, lets say a 1200hp rwd stick car, would be a massive advantage for the Tesla. Just as, putting a Tesla up against a 2000whp awd Auto drag car would be a huge disadvantage to the Telsa. I think pinning EV's against combustion cars is just pointless.

    @@TheMadmax0609 Bud, tell me you have no clue what you are talking about, without telling me you have no clue what you are talking about.... Let me educate you kid. EV's use BATTERIES. With current technology, they are at a crossroads as to weight/power output. Meaning, if EV's want to go faster, they will get massively heavier, and they are already incredibly heavy to begin with. Our shop has already tested a Dual Plaid battery setup... The car weighed 7,000 lbs, and had double the power, yet was slower and was destroying the drivetrain... Also, I have no clue what you are talking about with rebuilding an engine every run. Our car is 2000whp BBC and has been on the same engine and internals for 3 years.. I am not sure why you are getting so defensive. I like EV cars. But, for performance purposes, they are incredibly lame and boring. There are pros and cons to each. EV's you get a few runs at max power, then you have to recharge. Whereas combustion engine, you can make unlimited passes all night and just have to refill. You can make cross country drives far easier in combustion cars. Again, pros and cons to both.

    The predecessor to the Plaid, the P100D (the one that introduced "Ludicrous Speed" mode), was basically just as fast off the line, but above 60mph it would get reeled in fast. The main difference with the Plaid is it can maintain that acceleration for the full quarter mile and beyond, and deliver it even with a much lower battery charge state.

    Can't wait to see the Daytona Charger Banshee vs the Plaid. I think that is where you will see them consistently beating them. The Consistency issue works against the Demon 170 in a best two out of three racing scenario. Kind of disappointing Dodge didn't all wheel drive the Demon 170. That would have really helped the launch and consistency.

    What you describe is a feature, not a bug for a car enthusiast. My grandmother can run a 9.4 in a Plaid. I'm pretty sure there are trained chimps that can do it to. That's cool, and amazing tech - props to Elon's crew. But after you do it a few times, what's next? All you really did was spend the money. In the meantime, Paul's on his way to figuring out his car, refining his technique and eventually pushing toward the 8's - maybe even modding the car a bit. He'll feel a sense of achievement, accomplishment, and eventually will be faster than any Plaid because there isn't much they can do to improve the car - hardware or driver wise. Thank god for the free market - you can take either route. But don't knock it even if its not for you.
