Ok so new wheels from @SignatureSales seem to be doing well on Brooks' Plaid! 1.97 0-60 on the street:

I never imagined a day where we’d be excited about shaving 0.02 seconds off 0-60 times.Ok so new wheels from @SignatureSales seem to be doing well on Brooks' Plaid! 1.97 0-60 on the street:

Hey man we are at the record level here lol. I admit I'm much less excited for this 0-60 time than I would be if Tesla updated the website with the same figure, but stock. That means way more to me, and then it is even faster on the list of performance cars from the factory. Mods are mods. Nevertheless, I thought I would share it here for anyone interested.I never imagined a day where we’d be excited about shaving 0.02 seconds off 0-60 times.
Nothing is going to move the needle a lot at this point. Just up against the laws of physics. When you are running this quick, as tiny as .02 sec improvement seems, it actually was a pretty significant change to get that.
At the same time, nothing has really changed. Almost no cars on the actually street will beat the Plaid. Not to say there aren't "street legal" cars that will beat it but they'll likely be trailered to someplace to run you on the street. I would even take Farm Truck pretty easily. The cars from Street Outlaws will probably beat the Plaid easily 1 to 1.5 seconds. It is stil pretty impressive it is fast as it is even if it is yesterday's news at this point.

went to track with the brand new plaid
Removed rear seat and trunk and rear door panels ( so this is a partial gut)
on oem 19" with pzero
my weight is 245#
have not weighted the car but I estimate weight removal at 200#
soc was 79%
went 9.167 @ 155.56 (track slip) that gave a dragy time of 9.17 and 0-60 dragy time of 2.12 (1.95 with rollout)
but dragy says invalid on all the 0-60 for today which never happened at same track on my other model s performance
so here is the timeslip
and dragy 0-60 on same run

A 1/4 mile from Dragy would be more useful than the 0-60. The dragy 1/4 mile doesn't care if you are deep or shallow staged.
Good 60 foot time on those 19" pzeros!
sure here it is
and yes I stage very shallow

I've now seen 2 plaids in the 8s although this one wasn't first or fastest:

How far are you willing to gut your car for the sake of bragging rights is the real question on the table at this point.

The nice thing about gutting your car is it is free and you can put it back and no one ever knows. Just a time cost.
This thread would be way more interesting now if Tesla would offer an acceleration boost option for the LR like they did for the 3 & Y.
Have the boost knock about .4-.5 seconds off the 0-60 and about .7-.8 seconds off the 1/4 mile times, price it 5k or under (preferably 2k like the 3/Y) and I'll slap it on the minute I take delivery. I won't even drive it off the lot without upgrading it.

Never going to happen. Not unless they also have one for the Plaid.
Who else likes to play La Cucharacha while their lane mate is lining up at the staging lights?
Never thought they would have initially done one for the M3 or MY for the long range versions either but they did.

Different times, different cars. I also think the 3P was devalued with the $2k acceleration boost, but that's maybe just me.
I think there is a case to be made for either viewpoint. Maybe someone wanted better performance than the base LR version of the 3 but didn't want the wheel and suspension "upgrades". Those alleged upgrades kept me from buying the MYP.
I would think it it is a pretty profitable upgrade. Switch on the boost and instant 2k in their pocket for the 3/Y. Obviously, there might be some additional warranty claims but it isn't like they really stretched themselves with the boost with respect to hardware failures. Whereas with the MYP they have an upgraded motor, a few other trinkets, "upgraded" wheels and tires. Either way, they got more money out of the buyer.
I don't think it would significantly steal sales from the Plaid. If you need the fastest/best/etc. you aren't going to go with the LR and boost it. You'll drop the cash on the Plaid in the first place. Now the prices LR vs. Plaid are a low closer than they were earlier in the year.
From purely the LR perspective, I would have liked to seen it with a bigger performance gap over the M3P in the 0-60 range. I definitely will be looking for any dragy runs to see how the MSLR runs with a lower SoC.

There was a case for the 3awd though. The M3P beat the C63 amg, but the C43 amg was quicker than the 3awd. With the performance boost the 3awd got quicker than the C43.
I think the MSLR will get boost if a car it should beat gets quicker. Now since the MSLR handily beats every car in its class, I don’t think the boost will come anytime soon.
I may be wrong but that’s how I see this.
