Sound of Speed is for global high-performance vehicle enthusiast. We want to help you better understand "Vehicle Performance Value (VPV)" to enable more informed buy, sell, and upgrade decisions!
It is hard to get good relative measures of "performance value" for vehicles with Super, Hyper, and Mega capabilities on and off track (road course, drag strip, a drive to work or play). Value needs to also consider excitement (visual, auditory, feel), safety, service, and warranty! So we created VPV to make relative performance value easier to assess / more objective.
Sound of Speed's reference vehicles for value enable reliable comparisons. We have selected two platforms: C8 Corvette (stingray, Z06, Eray, upcoming ZR1, Zora) and Tesla Plaid (Model S Track Plaid, upcoming Roadster).
Please subscribe so you don't miss a minute of excitement as we compare to the worlds best on streets, road courses, drag strips, air strips, and more!

Tesla
I could not imagine the sheer fear in the heart of that person driving the movable bomb.
how did you get such high trap speeds?
Low 9 second out the box Incredible Like seriously how much faster will these street driven cars get ? Roads aren't setup for this kind of acceleration hahaha
Faster. This car should do 8.9s to 9.1s consistently once we figure out how to dial it in and get the right weather day, run with batteries conditioned for peak performance, adjust tire pressure for more grip, etc. The more exciting feature of this car is that it can reach 205 mph in a flash and it handles like a cat at over at speeds over 130 mph on track. The Roadster which SOS will get when Tesla actually commits to manufacture it will be way faster and more agile. It is allegedly 1000 lbs lighter, has more powerful motors, and with SpaceX technology option is claim 0-60 in less than 1s with top speed around 250 mph. We know its being tested at some private venues but who knows when they will build it. You are correct about the roads! That's why all the cars get wheel/tire warranties and 100% PPF including the windshields! Watch for our video on this topic.
@soundofspeed-sos5098 Oh hell yeah I love it Very difficult to drive a faster car around the twisties. I don't know how you guys drive these hyperfast Teslas around road courses
My grandma could launch that Plaid better than the driver. This video is disrespectful to all the Plaids out in the world.
We promise to do better and make Plaid owners proud. Its our first EV and its an awesome vehicle. Thanks for the feedback.
Good analysis thanks for info
What does Tesla claim the top speed to be for the plaid?
🚙 💥 💨
The Plaid never came close to a 157 at exit.
It actually did! Come out to our event and watch. With the pizza pan size, super light, carbon ceramic rotors and six piston brembo's we actually made the 1st exit. We took 100 lbs of rotational mass out of the car with the track package sold and installed by Tesla. We believe that equates to almost 700lbs less mass at speed. It's awesome.
@soundofspeed-sos5098 wow that's significant
Your cheating yourself out of a few tenths by not starting in the lowest suspension setting and using launch mode which lowers the car even more. The current software cuts some power on launch to protect the front cv joints unless you use launch mode.
Any advice is welcome. We also had 44lbs of air in the F1 super car 3R tires. We wanted to see if you just drove it up to the start line, no prep at all, as if you were on the street what it would do. It also rained three and the runs you see in the videos were done right after the track hosts blew of the track with an air blower. That is why the Z06 that normally does 10.6s in the quarter mile could not get traction. However, we have an Eray being built now so when we get it we will see how that does with all wheel drive. Its should at least deliver consistent times closer to the Tesla.
What’s the background track please?
Yeah you really don't know how to drive Model S plaid :( it should be 9.2 flat every time !! Next time PLEASE use launch mode, and make sure performance is ready for this kind of events !!!!!!!!!
Agreed! Except for the 9.4s run those times were terrible for the Plaid and those 157mph traps were wrong too. Plaids have NEVER been recorded going any faster than 153-154mph in the 1/4.
We did not make up those times. We had a camera crew right next to the time displays and you can see the times displayed if you have a high resolution TV. Not sure about other plaids - only experience we have is with this brand new Track Plaid. It might have something to do with all the rotational mass we removed from the vehicle.
Plaid baby! ⚡️ 🇺🇸 Electric American Muscle #1
Is that 157mph for real?? I’d expect to see a lower time than 9.4, considering the Sapphire is cracking into the 8’s and not hitting 157.
Gutted Plaid's do 8.6-8.7's over 160mph
No it's not for a full interior Plaid. 151-152mph is usually the highest trap you'll see in perfect conditions.
Agreed. Our launches were horrible but we intentionally did not mess with the car. It went from the dealer to the track with no prep of tire pressures and all runs were at less than 90% battery and no run was ever done with the "Peak Performance" battery conditioning cycle completed. Its a really fast car - believe it! We left a lot on the table.
@@soundofspeed-sos5098 Was that with a stripped interior?
@@mholmes9262 No - fully dressed
"Hey Toretto, you OWE me a 10 second car." Toretto: hands over Tesla S Plaid key fob.
That h2 is the fastest thing there, bikes usually aren't setup for a hard dig because the just wheelie to much
Agreed. We will have a street match in the future and then the reality of the H2's power can be seen. We wanted to do it from a dig knowing that would be a little more fair but with that power its tough for the rider to keep the front wheel on the ground from a dig. We suspect the result will be different on the street. However, please note that none of us know what this track plaid charged to 100% with "peak performance mode" conditioning complete will actually do on track or street. Stay tuned!
Plaid doing 157mph. I think thata a timing error
It was. 150-152 is typical run at 90% SOC.
Then its a timing error for the Ninja H2 as well. Watch the video and look at the timing lights.
Put somebody in the plaid that knows how to drive the damn thing its able to do 9.2 all day long and 9.19 in the summer .
Exactly, well said. It’s not like we are sending a robot car down the track! We call you the driver for a reason! Be fast!
Could not agree more. We invite you to come to one of our events and show us how to drive it!
Hahaha@@soundofspeed-sos5098
Very cool
That looks so funnnnnnnn 😍😍😍
Very fun video. Kate was an amazing tutor!
I know that car, SS thanks for taking us on a ride via video around Nelson’s. Hope you have more to share with us in 2021!
Great Fun! Cheered when he reached plus 140 mph
Wow! Looks So Fun!
What an awesome little car! bet it’s fun to open up out on the track like that!
Wow, fun video! Looks like they had a good time doing that! Nice road course map.
Amazing onboard track driving video!
Awesome pocket rocket!!!
Awesome pocket rocket!!
Enjoyed that video very much! Great instructional driving skills and the driving as well!! Sounds like they both had a great time!
Liked the video!! Pretty sweet car, looks like it would be fun to drive!!! I also liked the new map showing where the car is at on the track! Pretty cool!😃👍
Finally, got a chance to see the second episode. Good to see Bob and the team. Awesome cars and what speed 150 mph Good to see women coaches Keep it going Bob- waiting for 3rd video
Pretty cool
Wow !! That was awesome! I felt like I was in the car driving.....165mph lol lol Is that what I think I saw ....
Was invited, but wasn't in town. Looks like I missed some on the edge excitement! Can't wait to see rhe next video! I know that was an adrenlin rush!
And nobody got a ticket? Haha. Can’t imagine what it must feel like to hit some of those tops speeds. Be safe out there. 😊
That was amazing!
awesome video!
Wish I had a super car to join in the fun. The new Caddy C5-V Blackwing looks like it would fit into this group.
I bet that was rush! Nice show - keep em coming!😉
Wow nice cars, looks like a lot of fun! Keep it up you guys and be safe! 🚦👍
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
Exhilarating! Can’t wait till the next episode.
Great launch video! Interesting video concept. Stay safe driving out there and get some more cars.
Very nice SS Bob. I'll bring my 911 Turbo out to your track for a little challenge match. Any one of those cars in your garage will do.
Bob and team, awesome job. Can't wait for the next installment. Nice to recognize Nelson's Ledges track, wondering if you will be heading to Mid-Ohio anytime soon? Got to take my Carrera 4 Cabriolet on a parade lap at Mid-Ohio earlier this summer - only allowed to get up to around 100, but still fun!
Awesome! Love the enthusiasm!
Watching this video while driving on the German autobahn was a double treat. The light in the eyes of the motor enthusiasts is simply contagious; a club, community like. I hope it can spread to over here. Lots of impressive details. Good mix of topics.
Really appreciate the effort! :) much love from Russia!
