Reduced engine power but tires may have more traction. Race him on mars! lol

Just race the guy. Have some fun. No matter who wins congratulations are in order and the matter will be settled.
You will probably get off the line quicker, and as he gains traction, he will begin pulling ahead.
Both of you will enjoy the experience. Have a beer together afterwards to celebrate and learn about each other and your cars.

NO! Don't let this guy beat you. It will forever taint his impression of EVs. The fate of the planet rests on your shoulders!!!! No pressure. Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure.
I thought a 2007 was only as fast as my LR + boost looks like they only do 3.7 0-60 or 4.2sec on some sites 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Review. I bet the Tesla takes it vs an equally matched or even slightly outmatched car just because of the traction.

A stock one only does 3.7.
He mentioned the Z06 in question had a fair bit of modding done so is likely making significantly more power than stock.

Charge to 200% and get that W! Not on the street of course, with helmet etc etc.
I'd be primarily concerned about him losing control than anything else.

A better way to "win" might actually be to decline the race, but get him to take a test drive.
I've never had a fast ICE vehicle, but have read *many* posts of people ditching their performance ICE vehicles for a Tesla after getting a taste.

That’s exactly what I did. I test drove a Model 3P & immediately sold my Hellcat Challenger.A better way to "win" might actually be to decline the race, but get him to take a test drive.

Wow, The Green Lantern drives a Tesla now?!?! That's a really nice car. Was it hard to let go?

Yea lol, shades of the GT500. It just sits and spins no matter what they did.Not really. It looked & sounded good. But had major traction issues.
That's a Model Y though, and it was still close. Think the M3P would win that?

The M3P is 4-5 tenths faster to the 1/4 than a MYP so it right there with C8 or just nose it.
I still say you got him. Just because someone adds upgrades to their car doesn’t mean they can drive it. M3P is a no brainer, slam peddle and go. I would eat Hellcats all the time in my M3LR. Race him and film it so we may enjoy.
