Model Y beats a c8 stringray drag race

[moswissa]

I stumbled across this video on YouTube of a mode Y performance nearly beating the new corvette stingray. On paper the stingray puts down supercar numbers. I’m quite surprised esp because the Y pulled away on the top end. I know it’s just one race but still, I’m impressed

Were we watching the same video?

I don’t think you can even get near the top end in a short drag race and the Corvette handily trounced the Y in a full lap of the course.

Also, a Future Champion Moped beat a model 3 the other day in my town... guy in the three was all about his phone....

Kinda weird to compare the C8 with a Model Y. The 3 has track mode which prob would have been a more relevant comparison.

News is that a family SUV can put down competitive numbers with an Uber high performance sports car on the drag strip.

Kind of a Man bites Dog thing.

What the title leaves out is that this drag race took place at a mile high strip. Altitude effects ICE vehicles while EV's remain constant. Other issue was temperature. Usually an ICE vehicle does better on cooler days, while an EV's cold battery will suffer a bit.

However, I would agree with the comment about the perfect garage. My wife has the 2020 Model X and I have a deposit down on a new C8 (currently have a C7). To me that is the perfect garage.

TFL loves coming up with clickbait bullshit.

Biggest issue Chevy has with the C8 (magnificent car) is that they have been unable to make them in volume. People wait over a year to get one. Union problems, Covid problems, sourcing of parts problems.

I have YouTube set to not recommend their videos. None of their videos are worth watching, especially when they use a stopwatch for a lot of their tests. The should at least invest in a Dragy GPS for the 0-60 and quarter mile times.

Drag race doesn’t mean much of anything. Vette at 5,000 feet (losing 10-20% of its power), on cold tires, at who-know-how long. The track numbers are interesting, though. Even handicapping for altitude the MYP is going toe to toe with cars like the M2 and Giulia Quad.

Wow I’m surprised nearly every comment is hating on the fact that a family SUV is able to even compete against a stingray Corvette come on guys let’s be real. Give the Tesla credit when credit is due.

But you’re going to miss out on Tommy calling the Model Y a catfish in every single video!
