This is against a new Lambo; Plaid not in drag strip mode, just regular. Guy gets on and off the gas to just stay ahead of the Italian. (bc this car runs in 9.2x at 152 regularly they've told him he can't race unless he stays above 10 at this track - see the other videos). Pretty amazing, on the gas, off the gas, on the gas, off the gas, as you go down the track

Pretty impressive but where are any driver skills? I’d be bored after a day of just mashing the throttle, same way, time after time. Sure, you can beat me but having any fun yet? Also cracks me up that the car makes muscle car noises if you want. Sounds like piston envy to me :ROFLMAO:

Believe it or not, motor sounds below a certain speed are mandated by the NHTSA on EV's so pedestrians can hear them. Came into effect within the last year or 2.

The Tesla crowd is all up in arms about the Plaid not being able to run without a cage or whatever NHRA mandates in that ET bracket.
Because "Telsa"

Hate to break it to them, but this car is no better than most cars in a high speed crash, no pass on NHRA rules here ...

Then they can always skip the post. It's pretty simple really. Racing is racing; and a Demon was in there too.

Just as easy to die in an EV as any other car.

Like I said before, if the car was bad ass looking they would even sell more and possibly win over some people like most of us on this forum. I'd consider owning one if it looked better. I actually saw one driving on freeway couple weeks ago and it looked better in person.

The roadster will be out, eventually.
