Regarding the question of a 200 lb passenger affecting performance, I conducted that study on Saturday during my drag strip binge! My best times were solo (I'm 180 lbs) at 11.4, and my worst times with a 200+ lb passenger were 11.6. To my surprise the car kept producing 11.6 runs with a...

Very cool vid! Quite educational, thank you. I'll have to try that, but I'm going to die if my car curbs its rims while self-parking! And allow me to second what others have stated regarding your wrap... awesome! Love the blacked-out chrome bits!

Hey, thanks! The car gets all the credit! 5 of the 20 slips that I have from the drag strip on Saturday are posted on page 34 of the Drsgtimes Ludicrous 0-60 and 0-100 mph is the video section of this forum. My car ran 11.4. Quite far off from the 10.9 quoted in the sales literature. My...

Time slips - - - Updated - - - All runs were performed in "Ready!" and never dropped to preparing at any point during the day.

Made 20 passes at the drag strip yesterday in my P90D Ludicrous. The car consistently ran 11.4-11.5 at around 115 mph. Of course, I had the "Max Battery Power" setting selected. With a full-sized passenger the car slowed to 11.6. I showed up at the track with 96% charge. Ater 20 runs it...

CTS-V with lots of mods, E85, drag slicks. His best time is an 11.2. He is a super-cool guy and so we raced over and over! Tesla P90D vs modded CTS-V - YouTube Tesla P90D vs CTS-V - YouTube Tesla P90D vs modded CTS-V - YouTube Tesla P90D vs modded CTS-V - YouTube Tesla P90D vs Modded...

The Z is driven by an experienced drag racer and a super-nice guy. He oriented me to the drag strip as this was my first time. His car was on street tires (no slicks), and he has around 650 whp due to a tune, intake and pulley upgrade. Copy of Tesla P90D vs Z06 with intake, pulley, tune -...

Super-nice guy in the Hellcat. His car was running on all-season tires. That beast just has too much torque for 275mm all-season tires. Tesla P90D vs Hellcat - Quarter Mile - YouTube

A friend has been telling me that I need to figure out a way to make the center display look like a flux capacitor in my Teslas, but this is even better!! He is going to have his mind blown when I show him the display on my car tomorrow! Thanks so much!

MikeBur, that is crazy! Thank goodness for your attentiveness, quick action, and WRC skills! I've had the same thought cross my mind when the car unexpectedly veers onto an exit ramp. As an attentive driver, you rapidly observe what is happening and you immediately take corrective measures...

About two hours ago I completed a 450 mile drive from Denver to Albuquerque. Used AP for 95% of the drive. I would estimate that the car attempted to take the exit off ramp approximately 20-25% of the time, and there happen to be a few exits between Denver and Albuquerque! It was startling...

Tires are reported to be new by the owner, but old rubber was my first thought as well. Maybe they are "new tires" that have been sitting on the shelf for 2 years at the tire shop! I wonder if it will engage it's LC programming in 2nd gear? Seems like a good idea given the absurd wheel spin.

The 911 would not hook up. I made sure the tires were nice and hot, used launch control, and let the pdk do the rest. It spins horribly in first,instantly upshifts to second and spins some more, until it finally shifts into third and bogs slightly. It was stunningly inefficient off the line.
