Model 3 AWD vs. Camaro SS

Found this on Youtube. (i.e. it's not mine)

Clearly the Tesla driver was a novice, having trouble lining up at the lights. However, it shows how easy a Tesla is to get consistent results regardless of driver skill.

That 3 is running great. Just because my second favorite car of all time is the Camaro, I will say the Camaro driver should have ran a 12.2-12.6 with the M6 if he was more experienced. Just shows electric is better for even beginners than regular ICEs are!

To be fair- that's true of most ICE cars with automatics too, assuming adequate tires.

Also why automatics dominate bracket racing- computers shift better than humans.[/QUOTE]

Because it's fun to go fast.

loses it's novelty quick, unless you have no driving skill.

Tell that to F1, Nascar, and NHRA drivers

you think they will tell you that stomping on the gas in a straight line, in a fully 'automatic' car, is just as fun the 1000000th time as it was the first time?

Do you see the smile on the faces of the winners, aka those that went the fastest, when they get out of the car?

you were talking about going fast in a straight line and now you are talking about going fast on a race track, which is what i was originally saying. make up your mind.

NHRA is a straight line.

 

[TANGO SUKKA]

NHRA is a straight line.

i was talking about F1 racers.

NHRA is fun because theres a whole team concept behind it. Strip racing is fun because you can show you're faster than the guy beside you at a redlight.. except without the police factor.

I can see where it'd get boring with our EVs but in ICEs theres always so many factors that you have to have set correctly to be 0.xx faster..If you're upgrading and tuning your cars at least

Guys... this was a video of a Tesla drag racing a Camaro for fun. Not professional racing, not a debate about NHRA or F1. Your arguments aren’t relevant to this topic

This wasn't a P3D? Just regular M3DM?

Yea consistent results of hitting a pedal and holding a wheel straight haha I agree with @TANGO SUKKA, we see way too many drag runs and we all know the result by now. This was impressive back in 2013-2014, but now its time for EV's to dominate on a real track

It isn't an either or situation in our case.

P would be 1/4 mile in the 11s.
