No, the consistancy is really not insane. Eectric motors don't care about sea level or Denver, CO, not about high heat or humidity. EVs are more consistant on power delivery, n9 mystery there. Then, it has a low CG and all wheel drive, so it hooks better usually. So you would expect the Plaid to run more consistantly. Only your state of charge is the biggest power delivery factor.

For the 170 to run a 9.0, it took a professional driver and a team of engineers on a track that was prepped to their liking. Plaids have run sub 9 full weight, but this example has some miles. The demon was unloading and definitely needed some shock tuning to be competitive.

You can tell the true car and racing people in the comments from the my camp mentality people. I appreciate both cars for what they are and represent. Two very different driving experiences and two very different forms of propelling a vehicle forward. From a consistency standpoint the Tesla has it from the start. The Demon 170 on the other hand has it from a potential to run X standpoint as long as a combination of things line up. One represents more of a European refinement ideal while the other represents a more brutish look at me I'm an American Muscle car image. One gives a feeling of the car being in control while the other forces you to be in control of the car. Again I appreciate both of those. Sometimes I want to drive a more well mannered and easier controlled car. Other times I like the feeling of raw untamed power.

Or the other thing but its really good at doing burnouts and drifting. I just watched one run in the 8.9's pulling a wheelie out of the hole. Just imagine what it will do when one figures out how to get it to launch without wheelies or blowing the tires off. If they fit, I think an inch or two taller diameter tire would help the Demon 170 out a lot both at launch and on the top end. @@Charlesbjtown

Being able to consistently, out-drag one of the quickest, almost-purpose-built-from-factory drag racing car on the way home from Costco with the family and groceries in-tow is what makes Tesla vehicles so special...

I wanna see a 3 way race with the 170, 765LT and Plaid. The Demon and 765 would have to be in negative DA and have perfect track conditions though to have a chance. I actually think in extremely negative DA the 765 could go a high 8 with nothing but a set of sticky tires. Brooks first 765 ran low 9s in shitty Florida weather.

@JT-xf9sw So by your logic, an 800V car should be much faster than a 400V car......... right?

I am a life-long Chrysler fan, but I knew this was going to be a tough challenge for any "conventional" muscle car. The Tesla almost certainly has a lower center of gravity than the Dodge which helps launch stability. The biggest difference was two-wheel drive vs AWD. Any AWD car hunkers down and grabs the road surface better than a RWD or FWD car. Racer X has apparently received a lot of flak for his results in this face-off, but that is not fair. The car is his, and he did the best he could. Be glad he took his expensive ride to the track for us to see. Thanks to these guys for this video

@miguellopez3392

What people keep forgetting is that the demon is on slicks and has weight reduction, it can launch faster than the plaid even with RW, the demon level center of gravity is placed to help the RWD of the car hold more of the cars weight in a launch, plaid uses chetah stance to compensatefornits center of gravity, there is a reason the fastest drag cars are RWD and not AWD.

The Demon is a collectors item.
