Dragy times for Plaid and LR

[mulot30th]

I still have stock brake system but I have bottles of ATE TYP200 fluid ready to flush the brakes on plaid.


Anything special to do for ABS module to be properly bled?


I will NOT drag race this car with stock fluid anymore, never know.

But in any way I would never accuse Tesla for a brake failure in my case (gutted plaid at track you know .....)

216mph! The boys at ingenext have unlocked the plaid

I wonder why they did such a soft launch and if they were able to improve mph/et in the quarter mile or just simply unlock top speed?

Standing mile in under 25 seconds? I'll take two!

The 0-60 time wasn't very impressive (for a Plaid, anyway). I wonder if their mods to unlock top speed "break" traction control or cause some other freak-outs if wheelspin is detected?

Tesla Model S Plaid breaks 200 mph top speed for the first time

A Tesla Model S Plaid that has been hacked to remove software limitations has reached a top speed of over 200 mph (and then some).

Sick. 8.77 at 162?

@mulot30th wth did you remove?!??

 

[mulot30th]

Main change is suspension geometry change (slight) which reduce "tire drag" a little bit at least that is what I intended to do with that and have worked

Also worth noting the driver on the 8.77 run was 60# lighter than me.


My personnal best today was 8.80 which is about 0.01 shy of what I wanted to do lol

 

[mulot30th]

Fun fact I realized I were almost hitting speed limiter on a few runs today

Was just about to ask do you think if the limiter was removed your times would be a little faster since it was close to hitting the limiter?

 

[mulot30th]

does not seems to really slow down until end though

but there is definately not much room left now

Hit up ingenext to get it removed. They’ve already done it and hit 216mph on their plaid.

I bet you can get into 8.6 if you removed rear hatch at the track

Congrats! Great job on pushing the platform to its limits. What DA was that at? Sounds like the only thing you could do now is find some ridiculous high DA to help reduce drag a tiny bit? Do you have Dragy results for that run? Just curious if that track pushes the -1% downhill limit? Some tracks aren't exactly .99% downhill.

Napierville is a proper track built to meet NHRA regulations which allow no more than 1% downhill. They are NHRA affiliated so records set there do stand. My friend Nic Brunet preps the track there. As an aside he also owns the world's quickest 4 cylinder drag car (5.95 @230+mph, but that record was set at Orlando, FL). But no reason why this record should also not be recognised.

Here is a video of the 8.77 @162 run with 60lbs lighter than me driver

AND my personnal best run 8.80 @ 161 same day with view from cockpit

I wasn’t implying that the record shouldn’t stand. I was just wondering if the track pushes it right to that -.99% limit or not. I didn’t realize which track it was at. Some of the lesser tracks I have seen have a more flat or even uphill surface in some cases. Just trying to see if there is anything that could be done to make it any faster. It doesn’t sound like there is anything else that could really be done.

I ran some 0-60 runs in my MS LR today. I posted about it hear along with the Dragy slips. Let's just say my LR didn't run anywhere near the 3.1 Tesla claims. My best run was .4 seconds off. Pretty disappoint to put it mildly.
