Modding a gas car nets no return when you sell. A coworker of mine put $30K worth of mods on a Mustang Cobra. When he sold, he got book value. Only way to compete with these fast EVs is with heavy modifications which often voids warranty. Also tons of maintenance required to keep them running. You brought up money, not me.
@@lemongavine makes ton of senses. Even if you lose half, you essentially never have to pump gas, buy parts, or maintenance to continuously run 11s, 9s, or 8s
Corvettes went through the water and didn't do good burnouts, so they launched with wet tires. Both cars are capable of much better times. Z06 should be mid 10 seconds and Stingray should be low 11's. Most people can't launch them well enough, especially when the tires are still wet. Elevation may have played a part as well. Does anyone know the elevation at this track. It wouldn't affect the Teslas, but high elevation chokes gas cars due to the thinner air. Regardless, an Eray would be a better matchup. Can't wait for that 1000+hp AWD Zora. That will be a game changer.
Having owned a 2001 Vette, a WRX, a couple of Golf GTis, a number of fast bikes, and now a Tesla Model 3, if you want a fast car, the Tesla is the thing. While I miss a car with a manual transmission, it would be pretty hard to justify a new Vette given the fact that it's just not that fast in comparison to other more practical options. This wasn't the case in 2001, but this is 2024.
Those fossil cars like all, are slow as shit. For years people have spent hours and lots of cash to make them quicker, only to lose to a Tesla. That’s got to hurt some egos.
The Tesla’s only party trick is straight line acceleration, provided that the weather is warm and the chargers were working at the charging station. For overall fun factor and all around performance, the Tesla does not compare to the Vette.
Weather is warm? It’s 4500lbs awd. It’s just fine in the cold. And last I seen nobody using the street as a race track for turns. Vette has zero tricks as it is slow., cope
@@executiveinvestments You must not know that battery power is significantly reduced in cold weather and therefore range is significantly reduced. You should have learned that in 5th grade science but you could have also learned that by watching the news and seeing the EVs stranded in the blizzards in the mid west this winter. Get out of the city and drive on twisty roads in the mountains. It’s probably not a good idea to do that in a Tesla but choose something more capable. 0-60 in 2.9 (Stingray) or 2.6 (Z06) is slow? Well, watch the video again. The Z06 beat the Tesla. Cope
@@olivergrizzly6346 kid nice try. First off that’s a standard cheap Tesla. The plaid would completely embarrass the z06. And yes in cold weather. Plenty of teslas where I am have no problem in cold weather. No idea where ur getting ur info from. You do know Teslas have battery warmers right? Or did you not learn that in 5th grade science? 0-60 in 2.6? Where? Show me on the street one can do better than 4.0. Lmao. You sound upset the second race the standard cheap Tesla gapped the z06 for 1/3rd the price. Imagine what a plaid would do? Be like 35 car gap. Cope with being a loser.
I disagree. I drove a 2012 Centennial Edition Vette for 6 years before getting my Model S. The cars are so different that they shouldnt even be compared at all. For performance, my Tesla outperforms my Vette. The Vette is sexier but it isnt as fast or technologically forward.
@woodboysracing We have had an X Plaid since October. My wife drives it mainly, but I have yet to see what qtr mile time I can get. I need to just check it one night lol
That is ridiculous with these tesla cars. Since when have family cars that look like a senior citizen would drive been racing? Why not have the whole family in the tesla momma driving, papa passenger grandpa, grandma and the baby in the back seat.. It doesn't matter if a tesla beats a muscle car because a muscle car is beauty, sound and thrill. It's working on the car with your son or daughter on the weekends going to the garage to work on the car with new parts building it up and memories that it creates. With a Electric car you go to the garage to put it on a charger along side your vacuum and once it's charged your wife will send you off to the store to get her tampons , vegan chicken and quinoa.
Comparing apples to oranges. love the Vette and I can't stand Elon, but there is no denying what these vacumes, toasters, etc are capable of at the drag strip. Also, i'm a senior citizen ( 69 years young) and I drive a 2023 Dodge hemi powered Charger Daytona.

On top of that hes racing the c8 z06 which are selling for 150K. They have 670hp and a 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. Im a tesla owner, but I actually know my cars.. My only complaint about owning my M3P- is people like you... youre embarrassing... Your model 3 is turd compared to the c8 z06..

Both Corvettes ran slow times as well. The Z06 in the first race is capable of low to mid 10's and the base C8 can run low 11's. I don't know if it's the elevation or the drivers, but I do know they both went through the water, which they shouldn't have. The C8's traction is too good and so it doesn't like to do burnouts. When you wet the tires without a proper burnout, the launch is messy because you get too much wheel spin. Teslas have the advantage of AWD, so a better race for them would be the Eray.
@ghost_m3p Yes the model 3 is basically the same with a software update. The new one isn't really that much faster, if any. The Model S was definitely not the quickest though. Bad part about the Teslas is you can't really modify them to go any faster than stock besides weight reduction. You could theoretically modify either Corvette to be as fast as you want. Same for any gas powered car. Stock vehicles aren't usually my cup of tea.
