the reason why jerry drove both cars even when he’s shitting on Tesla is he’s a qualified race driver with a racing license. Dai is actually comfortable with jerry driving his car. And the differences between both cars after a hot lap is drumroll 57ms. And when they do time attacks they try to do it multiple times more than 1 lap with warmup take the best lap time. Even the gt3 could get less time when did on multiple laps
As a car enthusiast I think it’s cool incorporating electric cars on the channel. They are undeniably impressive . I can appreciate something new while still loving the classics

I had a Model 3 for a few years. It was fantastic to drive, and I really loved the experience. I only sold it when the second-hand market went crazy a year or so ago because I was able to get almost all of my money back for a 3.5 year old car. Having owned and lived with one for a long time, I don't understand all the negative comments people are always very eager to share with me about EVs.
Those people are almost always people who have never owned one, and most haven't even driven one. They sure speak with authority, though. It's eye-opening to see how wrong people are, but they sure believe they are right.
I own a model Y long range. I can’t even with all the truck drivers wanting to race me all the time. It’s kind of cute, ‘cause 90 percent of them would lose. I obviously don’t engage, and I live in Maine with a lot of hicks 😂😂😂
While I was waiting for my Plaid to be delivered, I rented a '20 992 Cabriolet for a few days, and then a Model 3 long range for a week. Everyone will call me a liar, but the Model 3 was more fun to drive than the Porsche. Driving them back to back was eye-opening. I know the Porsche is faster every way you measure it, but the model 3 felt faster. The PDK is awesome, but the EV's constant power is better. The Model 3 was like driving a big go-kart, it was really easy to feel what the car is doing and really easy to control it. The single pedal driving makes it really easy to balance the car in corners. My prediction is that the Boxter EV will be the best sports car ever.
@@75yomu Decent car? LOL. For 30K less than a BMW M3, the Tesla M3 smokes the bimmer, with instant acceleration, way better features, way safer, updates over the year, drives itself, miles ahead better software, charges at home, doesn't pollute, is silent, etc, etc. Decent? Teslas are the best cars on the road, bar none.
an interesting perspective I’ve realized this year driving multiple cars on the same track back to back is that the driver may actually be the limiting factor in regards to lap times in the sense that a person has a certain confidence level or sense of speed they wont go past, and that leads to very similar lap times between cars whereas the cars might be able to go around the track faster than the driver thinks it can. It’s extremely hard to extract 100% potential out of a car without having a substantial amount of time behind the wheel.
I don't think anyone is doubting that the driver was the limiting factor for the lap times in this video. That being said, I would bet that Jeremiah got faster laps than most of us could (he does have some good experience - Skip Barber). Rather than looking at athe driver as a limiting factor, look at the driver as a controlled factor when it comes to testing. For example, if you put Verstappen in either of those cars, and Jeremiah in the other, Verstappen will have the faster lap. The results of the test infers that if you put most experienced drivers in both cars, the GT3 RS will have a slightly faster lap time....but I want to see more testing between these two cars!
If we put him in a VW Passat, do you think the times would be in the same ballpark? These lap times being this close is indicative that you don't have to go GT3RS (unless you got the money and desire to) for an incredible car
@@JerkFrags On the other hand is the "fastest" car even fastest if there is only 1 person in the world that can drive it that fast? Ease of driving and confidence that car gives is really important because ultimately everyone wants to drive fast without putting thousands of hours of practice time.
@@JollyGiant19 I think the arguement is that both of these cars could probably go faster. Because its 1 driver, driving 2 different cars he is not used to, we're not gonna be able to see the actual difference. I can totally see those times being the most hes willing to push a car he doesn't own and is not fully comfortable driving.
especially with a car like the gt3rs ...id imagine that you can push this thing to levels that you don't feel comfortable with at first ^^ but they entertaining regardless
It would be an unfair competition then you would have to have someone whi knows how to drive the Porshe just as well as dai knows how to drive the tesla
Dont get me wrong, the Tesla is hands down incredible and the build they did for it is nothing short of spectacular. But it had to be said that the biggest factor for the laptime being so close is, what looks to be, the racing slicks that it is driving on. No matter how much aero, power of suspension tuning you do. The tires will always be the most important in the end. The porsche was on Cup 2 tires, which are incredible tires but nowhere near to slicks. Imagine if the porsche had those slicks!
I don't know that I agree. With the times being so close, the biggest factor was the driver. Nothing against Jer, but it's more likely he unintentionally cautioned himself several times. I'm sure if we had the track footage we could see it. Again, with times that close and cars that different, I'm looking squarely at the driver over everything else.
@@adamsfusion Let's be real. He's not that great of a driver. When he came to Australia he was way off the competition. Plenty of pro drivers rock up at tracks they've never done and are within a second of the pole within a few laps.
Well one thing I noticed is he appeared to be able to find his line quicker in the GT3 and proceeded to fine tune, where as the MP3 he was constantly readjusting his line (lots of wiggling of the steering wheel). That says MP3 should have been faster granted cause it was on slicks: not only better tire but the only thing keeping MP3's weight vs grip in check.
Interesting that with relatively modest modifications a Model 3 can be a quick track day car. There aren't many $50k road cars you can say that about. I wonder if we'll start to see software mods for track day Tesla's, to take exploit some of the possibilities that electric motors should allow, such as torque vectoring.

it's a tiny track. pretty much every performance car they drive on it is within 10 seconds of eachother, most are within 5 seconds. 3 seconds is a pretty big difference.

I’ve owned some awesome ICE cars, and now own a Tesla, and loved both, so I get to sit here and happily watch both sides pushing each other to get better and better, and that’s insanely exciting to me. Competition always brings out the absolute best in an industry

@@Disciple_of_God. nope. Love them as well, although for the average person, a 440 was faster because you had to be an exceptional driver to get the most out of a 426

@@js2000honda i agree with you, just seemed to be a missed opportunity since Dai was there. Technically, he could give 1 best lap in his tesla since he already so used to it, THEN go for a few hot laps in the porsche since he would have to get used to the porsche.
You can't use different drivers on a head to head test. That messes with one of the most crucial variables that needs to be controlled for for any of this to make sense
Insightful comparison between the Tesla Model 3 and Porsche GT3 RS, well done! It's clear that even though EVs have some limitations, they can still put up a respectable performance on the track.

tires are the easiest "upgrade" for any car to go faster on the track, but comparing the laptimes of a car that you can drive home, and another where you either have to put on a trailer, or switch out the tires for, is totally not a good comparison. You should have put track tires, but street legal ones, and would have made this test have a lot more water.
It's around 12-20k. And the tesla Plaid track pack with the same adjustments absolutely DESTROYS the porche (which is my dream car) Wish they had tested it too.
I think because the build isn’t that expensive especially compared to gas cars. They have aero, custom front bumper and hood. Custom carbon fiber doors, weight reduced which costs nothing, and bucket seats with harnesses which you would have in any race car. You don’t have to put any money into the motor so it’s pretty cheap as track built cars go.
@@EvoraGT430 lol nobody that actually tracks their cars cares about range or efficiency. That's why there's always gas pumps or charging stations directly at legit track sites. That's why Donut didn't talk about it.
My dad owns a Tesla and I can say it's fun if you can let yourself have the fun. I know some people who will just not let themselves just enjoy the technology that it has. At the same time I think combustion motors should be able to continue in some way. Great video
I don't find anything wrong with EVs but I recognize they are not for everyone so I don't think they should be forced on everyone by the government. People should have a choice. I looked into buying one last year but they are not in my price range. I absolutely don't find EVs appealing for racing because of the limited customization that's available. Combustion engines come in all different sizes with nearly an infinite number of aspects that can be changed to alter performance for different types of racing. Camshaft profiles, changes to spark timing, turbochargers, exhaust header tube length, gear ratios, etc are aspects that let each car become unique. EV don't have most of that. Aerodynamics and suspension tuning looks to be about it. The heart of the whole thing is stock. While they are quicker and faster, than combustion engine vehicles, I'm a gear head and I don't feel a connection to the EVs for racing because they are off the shelf with no real customization and no sound. I've been to NHRA Drag races, NASCAR races, Formula 1 races, etc and I could not imagine there being no sound! It's like EVs have no soul.
Tesla’s are just trash. The owner of the company is a trash human, the car quality is trash. The only saving grace it has is being electric, good charge mileage & having a charging port that’s the most accessible right now. The design is subpar at best. Mods on it make it look even more less appealing.
It's always the middle that is better for everyone and that is Hybrids. Literally best of both world. As much as I love ice cars I also love Hybrid. Ya I know world is evolving and all I 'car enthusiasts' part of me loves every car including the tesla but my 'petrol head' part would refuse to even look at evs and I know quit a lot of people who thinks that so ya Hybrids would be better future if given enough work and time.
@@edj2022 It's still a long time before any bans come in and tbh I doubt you'll be able to even find retailers still bothering to design and release new fossil cars by 2030. Even now most are putting basically all their r&d into EVs.
although you get the best of both worlds, you also get the worst of both worlds. You have a battery, a motor and an engine all wearing down and having their own issues. As evidence of this, hybrids have more car fires than ICE and way way more than EV alone. I like the benefits you get from hybrid but I do think the best option will be some future EV with ~500 mile EPA range and 20%-80% charging in about 10-15 mins. Until that exists I think they all are a compromise. Just my 2 cents though, as someone who has been driving all electric for 6 yrs.@@deletedaccount573
Worth mentioning that everyone who does race car stuff knows, you as a driver get faster with each lap. Part of that is fuel weight loss, part of that is level of comfort, but the Tesla its the opposite peak power is the very first lap. But I have to say, that's pretty sick and it makes me want a Tesla tbh. To have a car that keeps up with a gt3 rs around a track, that probably costs half after those mods, and way less before the mods. Very cool

Not with only one out lap, especially in weather as cold as it looks. Especially not with the underdriving in the video. Tbh I'm not sure I'd even take 200tw Bridgestone re-71rs's out in this cold weather, I might bias to my PS4S set to ensure heat gets in them. That's more important than just throwing a slick on a car because it's a "race tire".
True. But a Model 3 performance is 40k with incentives. Gotta give it something right? A modified model S plaid would of blown the gt3rs to the moon. It has the fastest big willow track time ever and I don't see a gt3rs breaking any records on big willow.
Tesla 3 owner here. This is the first automatic and EV I’ve ever owned. The car prior to this was a Ford focus RS. even stock, the model 3 is so much fun when you needed to be
I'm actually so excited to see that battery radiator mod on the Tesla Model 3. It was the first thing I thought of when it came to building performance mods for EVs beyond the obvious stuff like weight reduction, and I'm glad to know my thoughts were right! I'd love to see what happens when you do this to like.. a Plaid
the issue is you can't cool battery packs fast enough. There's always a lag between heat generation and the cooling system being able to compensate. You have to move that heat from the battery packs to the radiation system and back. Batteries, under full load, can produce way more heat than most systems can mitigate. EVs are good at quick bursts of performance but they still lack the ability to maintain that performance. It's getting better but they aren't there yet.
@CRneu absolutely, even liquid cooling only goes so far. My thought initially was a nitrous or nitrous-adjacent system that, rather than blowing super dense air into the fuel system to increase combustion, was to just flush super compressed (and subsequently much colder) liquid nitrogen over the batteries in an attempt to flash-cool them. It'd require a lot of testing and I have no idea if that would be *nearly* enough cooling potential, but being able to port nos into EVs just for a different use case sounded so cool. Especially for show builds where EVs are already bagging their cars and putting the compressor tanks in the frunk. Just do that but with nos
@@michalandrejmolnar3715 The only stupid thing here is you lol GT3 looks uncomparably better, sound really good and It will have performance as good for tens of laps, tesla will get worse every lap .
@@michalandrejmolnar3715 so true how dare anyone talk bad about daddy elon's perfect car. a 30k ev that can only do 1 lap in peak performance is way better than that stupid quarter million dollar sports car that can do it all day.
Along with a driver experienced in the car, a gps timer would be much better than a hand stopwatch. Anything within a half-second is pretty much meaningless when timing by hand
While the Model 3 will overheat on a road course with prolonged acceleration and deceleration at the drag strip you actually have to heat the battery for max performance. At drag strips you don’t accelerate long enough to heat the battery. The Track Mode actually slows the car down tremendously because it cools the battery. My model 3 does the 1/4 mile in 11.17 @ 120.0 mph but only when I use preconditioning to heat the battery to over 130 degrees F.
I was thinking about this the other day - tempted to take my 3 performance to the nearby track. Would you recommend setting nav to the Supercharger so it will precondition the battery before I make a run?
@@ChrisLeiter which Track? Dragstrip or road course? For the dragstrip just navigate to a supercharger about 15 minutes before your run. I usually start preconditioning when I get into the line. For the road course you should put it in track mode about 10 minutes before your run and then leave it in track mode for each run. That will cool the battery and motors for sustained accelerations and braking.
Man what a fun video! So interesting to see their honest reactions to the Tesla. That low center of gravity is awesome with the weight reductions they applied too
Same. I hear a lot about how quickly they lose performance, but from people that actually race Plaids ive been told its only 1-2% per quarter mile. Which a lot of 1000 hp gas cars burn more than 1-2% of their tank in the same amount of time
NGL that Tesla looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of EV's and I'm not gonna get one untill there's no way to drive ICE's anymore. There's just too many inconviniences for me to daily EV in current state of network and range, but I'm not totally against them either. Nice build!
@@dsmluck The range complaints is what I find absurd. My neighbor has 3 Teslas, he uses the model 3 the most and he said he really only charge it everyday as EVs perform best at high battery charge. Dude drives miles everyday and it goes as low as 75%. Urban use is 100% for EVs. Cross country you might just rent a van.
@@borinvlogs Yes, but you can say that about any other super car. A Tesla can out drag a Bugatti. Is the Bugatti still worth a million+ is that no also a bigger "rip off".
i think the laps 2-5 are the more important and interesting laps in this case, i wanted to see how a better cooled model 3 could do on a sustained track load
The M3P is my favorite performance daily driver hands down, especially with a gas project car. Cheapest car to do 0-60 in 3.1 and 11.7 in the 1/4 stock, basic suspension mods makes it a handling champ, practically no maintenance, instant torque launches, fastest car for legal speeds until you hit “go to jail” territory. Still have the C7 for weekends and tinkering, but 98% of the time I’m in the M3P. It’s just a different kind of fun. Only gripes are (handling + low center weight) destroys expensive tires, Tesla as a company, Elon👎🏾, and other Tesla owners… but the M3P platform itself is amazing. Kudos to Dai for the build, but I would personally leave my electric for daily and gas for track. GT3 owners have nothing to worry about lol
It is remarkable how close the times are! Two extremely different cars and a track long enough to get easily different times (even with two laps with the same car). The driver skill consistency is crazy!
While both cars are very impressive the fact the Porsche is on Cup2s and not slicks like the Tesla makes it not surprising at all that the Tesla was close. Tires are a MASSIVE factor when it comes to laps times.
@@scromberprofessionalautist1017 I didn't even pick up on that during the video. It basically makes the video pointless, especially since it's a small track. The aero isn't doing shit and it's all about tire grip...
@@scromberprofessionalautist1017 the car matter more then the tire, because the car drives the tire not the tire the car, so therefore the car is more important, and tesla is 1/5 the price so Tesla has 5 times better then porsche (also cybertrucl will beat the porsche while carrying one on back lol)
Thanks guys for content like this. I know many car guys struggle in some way with the emergence of EVs, I did so myself for some time, but it is going to come and thinking about how we can make it cool will be essential imo. Also showing what you can modify as far as drivetrain goes (and there is much more than what Dai did as far as I know, like inverters, transmission, cooling, maybe the rotor of the electric motor, etc.). Would be cool to see more of that. Stay open minded guys! Stuff will only get as cool as we make it!
IDK, the actual performance aspect of my MYP is what's super cool for me. Ridiculous performance. I had to reprogram my 53yr old brain that grew up with "muscle cars". Big traditional engine sound is fun but it's the new sound of slow.
The GT3 RS is designed to run all day at the track, that’s the difference and why it’s so impressive for a stock car. Good luck doing that in the modified Tesla

Really this is a carbon fibre/aero race car with a Tesla drivetrain under it.
@@siraff4461 But they're not going to call it "the carbon fiber Pike's Peak racing modified Model 3" every time they talk about it, lol. Everybody knows it's a race car.

They'll call it a 911, or a 458, or whatever... they don't have to say "the legendary carbon-bodied full-race-prep 911 GT3 race car that is in no way like a regular Carrera."
Comparing Tesla 0-60 times to real performance cars is like comparing a microwave to a bbq grill. It may cook faster, but nobody ever wished for a microwaved burger
But tesla's were never supposed to be used as high performance vehicles? they are commute cars? You can say the same thing as a hellcat, or any muscle car, it is quick, but once you turn, its over.
EVs definitely need more love in the car community. I feel there's a negative connotation that EV owners are rich, environmental snobs. But a majority of people drive them just for their ease of use and at home charging.
Having owned both cars, let's not understate the facts that you need a higher degree of skill to drive a Porsche; whereas your grandmother can get those times with very little effort in a Tesla. (Yeah, I'd rather be driving the Porsche around a track.)
To make it even with the best track weapon that Porsche has to offer, they raced it against a mundane electric sedan. 😂😂 I can hear teardrops right now. Sounds like rain.

@@Acarloveredits what passion are you talking about? The Tesla does everything a race car would do minus the engine. It’s got tons of modifications and hours put into it to make a hill climb car. How is that not passion?
Guys, i have a good suggestion for you! Buy a Donut lift trailer to take with you when you have track days, you could see the whole track, wouldnt really be that expensive 😍
a plaid with the track pack and same mods would have without a doubt beat the porsche. We're getting into those days already where a tesla is a better track car than a quarter million dollar porsche. we're pretty much already there.
I’d really like to see it again with the exact same tires. I can’t imagine that a 3600 lb Tesla with 65 less horsepower can almost match a GT3 RS with active aero. Those Tesla tires were clearly track tires whereas the GT3 was on sticky street tires
I was one of the Tesla haters till I went used eco car shopping. Then when I found out you can get a used model 3 for under 30k, I tried it out; now I absolutely love the thing. Have two diesel trucks and now this little scooter parked next to them.
People seem to forget that speed is one aspect of a car that enthusiasts love and it’s the only argument electric car guys can use because electrics loose every other aspect we love about cars

Having owned and lived with one for a long time, I don't understand all the negative comments people are always very eager to share with me about EVs.
Those people are almost always people who have never owned one, and most haven't even driven one. They sure speak with authority, though. It's eye-opening to see how wrong people are, but they sure believe they are right.
I own a model Y long range. I can’t even with all the truck drivers wanting to race me all the time. It’s kind of cute, ‘cause 90 percent of them would lose. I obviously don’t engage, and I live in Maine with a lot of hicks 😂😂😂
While I was waiting for my Plaid to be delivered, I rented a '20 992 Cabriolet for a few days, and then a Model 3 long range for a week. Everyone will call me a liar, but the Model 3 was more fun to drive than the Porsche. Driving them back to back was eye-opening. I know the Porsche is faster every way you measure it, but the model 3 felt faster. The PDK is awesome, but the EV's constant power is better. The Model 3 was like driving a big go-kart, it was really easy to feel what the car is doing and really easy to control it. The single pedal driving makes it really easy to balance the car in corners. My prediction is that the Boxter EV will be the best sports car ever.
Many people love jumping on the bandwagon of hating Tesla even though it's a decent car.
@@75yomu Decent car? LOL. For 30K less than a BMW M3, the Tesla M3 smokes the bimmer, with instant acceleration, way better features, way safer, updates over the year, drives itself, miles ahead better software, charges at home, doesn't pollute, is silent, etc, etc. Decent? Teslas are the best cars on the road, bar none.
It's really impressive that Dai dialed in a car that was essentially uncharted territory in the time attack or performance modification scenes
an interesting perspective I’ve realized this year driving multiple cars on the same track back to back is that the driver may actually be the limiting factor in regards to lap times in the sense that a person has a certain confidence level or sense of speed they wont go past, and that leads to very similar lap times between cars whereas the cars might be able to go around the track faster than the driver thinks it can. It’s extremely hard to extract 100% potential out of a car without having a substantial amount of time behind the wheel.
I don't think anyone is doubting that the driver was the limiting factor for the lap times in this video. That being said, I would bet that Jeremiah got faster laps than most of us could (he does have some good experience - Skip Barber). Rather than looking at athe driver as a limiting factor, look at the driver as a controlled factor when it comes to testing. For example, if you put Verstappen in either of those cars, and Jeremiah in the other, Verstappen will have the faster lap. The results of the test infers that if you put most experienced drivers in both cars, the GT3 RS will have a slightly faster lap time....but I want to see more testing between these two cars!
this exactly
If we put him in a VW Passat, do you think the times would be in the same ballpark?
These lap times being this close is indicative that you don't have to go GT3RS (unless you got the money and desire to) for an incredible car
@@JerkFrags On the other hand is the "fastest" car even fastest if there is only 1 person in the world that can drive it that fast? Ease of driving and confidence that car gives is really important because ultimately everyone wants to drive fast without putting thousands of hours of practice time.
@@JollyGiant19 I think the arguement is that both of these cars could probably go faster. Because its 1 driver, driving 2 different cars he is not used to, we're not gonna be able to see the actual difference. I can totally see those times being the most hes willing to push a car he doesn't own and is not fully comfortable driving.
Brilliant. Finally a Tesla test that involves corners. Thanks for the comparison lads
There's a bunch of videos from the last couple of years with the Model S Plaid "Dark Helmet" build that is the exact same.
With all due respect, I feel like driving was a limiting factor in this comparison - one practice lap can't be enough to start pushing.
Not unless you’re Randy Pobst
especially with a car like the gt3rs ...id imagine that you can push this thing to levels that you don't feel comfortable with at first ^^ but they entertaining regardless
Yea the gt3 is going to be trickier to drive than the Tesla , cuz like he said in the video you have to do less in the Tesla
@@garythecyclingnerd6219Mr. Pobst is the Bob Ross of driving.
They said he was doing “some warmup laps” in the gt3rs, so that’s more than one
Dai should've gotten a go in his Tesla, he probably knows this car inside out.
It would be an unfair competition then you would have to have someone whi knows how to drive the Porshe just as well as dai knows how to drive the tesla
@@thenaughtylemonethat’s the thing. The guy knew Porsche already but knew nothing about a Tesla.

@@chrism869lol
The tesla is sick
You are easy to impress, that is something very old, already used the 3000gt front and rear
Even Audi A7 has that
Dont get me wrong, the Tesla is hands down incredible and the build they did for it is nothing short of spectacular. But it had to be said that the biggest factor for the laptime being so close is, what looks to be, the racing slicks that it is driving on. No matter how much aero, power of suspension tuning you do. The tires will always be the most important in the end. The porsche was on Cup 2 tires, which are incredible tires but nowhere near to slicks. Imagine if the porsche had those slicks!
Both cars were severely underdriven, My model 3 with just 200tw tires can do 1:19's around streets of willow.
I don't know that I agree. With the times being so close, the biggest factor was the driver. Nothing against Jer, but it's more likely he unintentionally cautioned himself several times.
I'm sure if we had the track footage we could see it. Again, with times that close and cars that different, I'm looking squarely at the driver over everything else.
@@adamsfusion Let's be real. He's not that great of a driver. When he came to Australia he was way off the competition. Plenty of pro drivers rock up at tracks they've never done and are within a second of the pole within a few laps.
Well one thing I noticed is he appeared to be able to find his line quicker in the GT3 and proceeded to fine tune, where as the MP3 he was constantly readjusting his line (lots of wiggling of the steering wheel). That says MP3 should have been faster granted cause it was on slicks: not only better tire but the only thing keeping MP3's weight vs grip in check.
@@stevencase243sounds about right. People are scared to push the limits.
Interesting that with relatively modest modifications a Model 3 can be a quick track day car.
There aren't many $50k road cars you can say that about.
I wonder if we'll start to see software mods for track day Tesla's, to take exploit some of the possibilities that electric motors should allow, such as torque vectoring.

a few videos ago the type R did a 1:24 around the track, surprised to see the GT3RS didnt just absolutely blow it out of the water!
3 seconds on a track this small Is a huge difference
he probably had more laps to practice with the type R, but yeah, suprised by it too
it's a tiny track. pretty much every performance car they drive on it is within 10 seconds of eachother, most are within 5 seconds. 3 seconds is a pretty big difference.
In spite of having a motor that sounds boring AF, the new CTR really seems to have the necessary value proposition. Still not OK with owning a DGI motor myself, but thats another convo.

tires are the easiest "upgrade" for any car to go faster on the track, but comparing the laptimes of a car that you can drive home, and another where you either have to put on a trailer, or switch out the tires for, is totally not a good comparison. You should have put track tires, but street legal ones, and would have made this test have a lot more water.
I feel the build cost of the Tesla was completely glossed over
It's around 12-20k.
And the tesla Plaid track pack with the same adjustments absolutely DESTROYS the porche (which is my dream car)
Wish they had tested it too.
Also the lack of range.
I think because the build isn’t that expensive especially compared to gas cars. They have aero, custom front bumper and hood. Custom carbon fiber doors, weight reduced which costs nothing, and bucket seats with harnesses which you would have in any race car. You don’t have to put any money into the motor so it’s pretty cheap as track built cars go.
@darkcircle899 you forgot the full roll cage, big brake kit, wheels, tires and other stuff
@@EvoraGT430 lol nobody that actually tracks their cars cares about range or efficiency. That's why there's always gas pumps or charging stations directly at legit track sites. That's why Donut didn't talk about it.

I love that Jerry Berry is now the test driver now that he is legitimately a race car driver.
6:51 that reminds me of Forza
The fact that Gt3 can achieve more with 6 cylinders than some V8 cars can, is incredible.
Is it? The # of cylinders is so overrepresented in most peoples idea performance. It really is alot less important than so many other factors
Some v8s? Almost every v8 can not keep up with a gt3rs on a track
Cylinders don't really matter on track
Same argument that a highly modified 4 pot can overpower a v8... 👀
The fact koenigsegg has a 600hp 3 cylinder should tell you that the amount of cylinders means nothing.
My dad owns a Tesla and I can say it's fun if you can let yourself have the fun. I know some people who will just not let themselves just enjoy the technology that it has. At the same time I think combustion motors should be able to continue in some way. Great video
I don't find anything wrong with EVs but I recognize they are not for everyone so I don't think they should be forced on everyone by the government. People should have a choice. I looked into buying one last year but they are not in my price range. I absolutely don't find EVs appealing for racing because of the limited customization that's available. Combustion engines come in all different sizes with nearly an infinite number of aspects that can be changed to alter performance for different types of racing. Camshaft profiles, changes to spark timing, turbochargers, exhaust header tube length, gear ratios, etc are aspects that let each car become unique. EV don't have most of that. Aerodynamics and suspension tuning looks to be about it. The heart of the whole thing is stock. While they are quicker and faster, than combustion engine vehicles, I'm a gear head and I don't feel a connection to the EVs for racing because they are off the shelf with no real customization and no sound. I've been to NHRA Drag races, NASCAR races, Formula 1 races, etc and I could not imagine there being no sound! It's like EVs have no soul.
Tesla’s are just trash. The owner of the company is a trash human, the car quality is trash. The only saving grace it has is being electric, good charge mileage & having a charging port that’s the most accessible right now. The design is subpar at best. Mods on it make it look even more less appealing.
It's always the middle that is better for everyone and that is Hybrids. Literally best of both world. As much as I love ice cars I also love Hybrid. Ya I know world is evolving and all I 'car enthusiasts' part of me loves every car including the tesla but my 'petrol head' part would refuse to even look at evs and I know quit a lot of people who thinks that so ya Hybrids would be better future if given enough work and time.
@@edj2022 It's still a long time before any bans come in and tbh I doubt you'll be able to even find retailers still bothering to design and release new fossil cars by 2030. Even now most are putting basically all their r&d into EVs.
although you get the best of both worlds, you also get the worst of both worlds. You have a battery, a motor and an engine all wearing down and having their own issues. As evidence of this, hybrids have more car fires than ICE and way way more than EV alone. I like the benefits you get from hybrid but I do think the best option will be some future EV with ~500 mile EPA range and 20%-80% charging in about 10-15 mins. Until that exists I think they all are a compromise. Just my 2 cents though, as someone who has been driving all electric for 6 yrs.@@deletedaccount573
Got my hrprs shirt today! Sick! Hella comfortable thick and soft! Wasn't expecting it this way tbh but definitely will start buying more
Worth mentioning that everyone who does race car stuff knows, you as a driver get faster with each lap. Part of that is fuel weight loss, part of that is level of comfort, but the Tesla its the opposite peak power is the very first lap. But I have to say, that's pretty sick and it makes me want a Tesla tbh. To have a car that keeps up with a gt3 rs around a track, that probably costs half after those mods, and way less before the mods. Very cool
I like when he says “and that’s car you can buy and drive off the lot” in what a world😂😂

Not with only one out lap, especially in weather as cold as it looks. Especially not with the underdriving in the video. Tbh I'm not sure I'd even take 200tw Bridgestone re-71rs's out in this cold weather, I might bias to my PS4S set to ensure heat gets in them. That's more important than just throwing a slick on a car because it's a "race tire".
True. But a Model 3 performance is 40k with incentives. Gotta give it something right? A modified model S plaid would of blown the gt3rs to the moon. It has the fastest big willow track time ever and I don't see a gt3rs breaking any records on big willow.

I'm actually so excited to see that battery radiator mod on the Tesla Model 3. It was the first thing I thought of when it came to building performance mods for EVs beyond the obvious stuff like weight reduction, and I'm glad to know my thoughts were right! I'd love to see what happens when you do this to like.. a Plaid
the issue is you can't cool battery packs fast enough. There's always a lag between heat generation and the cooling system being able to compensate. You have to move that heat from the battery packs to the radiation system and back. Batteries, under full load, can produce way more heat than most systems can mitigate. EVs are good at quick bursts of performance but they still lack the ability to maintain that performance. It's getting better but they aren't there yet.
@@CRneu Liquid cooling has entered the room
@CRneu absolutely, even liquid cooling only goes so far. My thought initially was a nitrous or nitrous-adjacent system that, rather than blowing super dense air into the fuel system to increase combustion, was to just flush super compressed (and subsequently much colder) liquid nitrogen over the batteries in an attempt to flash-cool them. It'd require a lot of testing and I have no idea if that would be *nearly* enough cooling potential, but being able to port nos into EVs just for a different use case sounded so cool. Especially for show builds where EVs are already bagging their cars and putting the compressor tanks in the frunk. Just do that but with nos
See the dark helmet plaid driven by Randy pobst. 👍🏻😎

I forgot Jeremiah is the only trained professional when it comes to track
While the Model 3 will overheat on a road course with prolonged acceleration and deceleration at the drag strip you actually have to heat the battery for max performance. At drag strips you don’t accelerate long enough to heat the battery. The Track Mode actually slows the car down tremendously because it cools the battery. My model 3 does the 1/4 mile in 11.17 @ 120.0 mph but only when I use preconditioning to heat the battery to over 130 degrees F.
I was thinking about this the other day - tempted to take my 3 performance to the nearby track. Would you recommend setting nav to the Supercharger so it will precondition the battery before I make a run?
@@ChrisLeiter which Track? Dragstrip or road course? For the dragstrip just navigate to a supercharger about 15 minutes before your run. I usually start preconditioning when I get into the line. For the road course you should put it in track mode about 10 minutes before your run and then leave it in track mode for each run. That will cool the battery and motors for sustained accelerations and braking.
@@ChrisLeiterYes, I've heard this is the way. You can even use service mode to check battery temps. I think you want ~50C to for best drag run.

is Pikes Peak NOT a "sustained track load"
The M3P is my favorite performance daily driver hands down, especially with a gas project car. Cheapest car to do 0-60 in 3.1 and 11.7 in the 1/4 stock, basic suspension mods makes it a handling champ, practically no maintenance, instant torque launches, fastest car for legal speeds until you hit “go to jail” territory. Still have the C7 for weekends and tinkering, but 98% of the time I’m in the M3P. It’s just a different kind of fun. Only gripes are (handling + low center weight) destroys expensive tires, Tesla as a company, Elon👎🏾, and other Tesla owners… but the M3P platform itself is amazing. Kudos to Dai for the build, but I would personally leave my electric for daily and gas for track. GT3 owners have nothing to worry about lol
It is remarkable how close the times are!
Two extremely different cars and a track long enough to get easily different times (even with two laps with the same car).

With the access to the track that y'all have, I feel like you guys could do a "Best Motoring" style show on your channel
For the price difference that is crazy actually
Thanks guys for content like this. I know many car guys struggle in some way with the emergence of EVs, I did so myself for some time, but it is going to come and thinking about how we can make it cool will be essential imo.
Also showing what you can modify as far as drivetrain goes (and there is much more than what Dai did as far as I know, like inverters, transmission, cooling, maybe the rotor of the electric motor, etc.).
Would be cool to see more of that.
Stay open minded guys! Stuff will only get as cool as we make it!
IDK, the actual performance aspect of my MYP is what's super cool for me. Ridiculous performance. I had to reprogram my 53yr old brain that grew up with "muscle cars". Big traditional engine sound is fun but it's the new sound of slow.
“World’s fastest Tesla” ? I’m confused, isn’t that title reserved for the Tesla Model S plaid?
They are youtubers, stupid people
might be "around a track"?🤷🏼♂️
@@tylerblackard01 no the ModelS plaid is significant faster on the track double the HP lol
@@kenion2166this Tesla would dog a plaid on the track. Think about it
@@camjronmaybe, but the dark helmet plaid would dog this
The GT3 RS is designed to run all day at the track, that’s the difference and why it’s so impressive for a stock car. Good luck doing that in the modified Tesla
I would take something like a Honda E as a daily all day long. It’s not meant to be fast or crazy, just a nice little city commuter
Saameee. Man it's a damn shame it won't come to the US. Plus I love that you can use the screens as an HDMI in for a game console. I swear if Honda made a wagon version with a longer battery it'll do incredibly well here.
Straight trash vehicle. Get into an accident and you’re done for. No Space no storage. Very very short range.0-60 is too slow. Bunch of cars that are better with the same price. With better tech and interior as well.
Never even heard of the Honda E before. Had to look it up. Why don’t we get interesting cars in NA 🤦♂️
@Fumbiii16 Not everything is about speed lil bro
@@omegadomegaI agree with him when it comes to speed and range. If it’s an electric car and it’s slow then there is no point in buying one imo. If I wanted to save the environment I would ride the bus.
An up to speed for us all on James's dad please?
Subscribed after I saw you in the crew motorfest and I gotta say you’re pretty awesome
Calling Dai's car a model 3 is like calling Monster Tajima's Escudo a Vitara.
But it is a Model 3? And they called the Vitara an Escudo because that's the Japanese market name for it. "Escudo" isn't the name of the race car, it's just what Vitaras are called in Japan.
@@drdriftphd OK you miss my point. I'm fully aware of the names for the Escudo and should probably have typed "Monster Tajima's car".
The point is they are Pikes Peak hillclimb specials - so far removed from the standard car there is only a very small amount of it left. Really this is a carbon fibre/aero race car with a Tesla drivetrain under it.
@@siraff4461 But they're not going to call it "the carbon fiber Pike's Peak racing modified Model 3" every time they talk about it, lol. Everybody knows it's a race car. So they can just call it a Model 3. It's the same as race announcers talking about the cars on the track. They'll call it a 911, or a 458, or whatever... they don't have to say "the legendary carbon-bodied full-race-prep 911 GT3 race car that is in no way like a regular Carrera."
It's nowhere near close as modified as Tajima's car.
@@siraff4461If the drive train and shape remain the same... it's a model 3 lol.
Comparing Tesla 0-60 times to real performance cars is like comparing a microwave to a bbq grill. It may cook faster, but nobody ever wished for a microwaved burger
Eloquently said
But tesla's were never supposed to be used as high performance vehicles? they are commute cars? You can say the same thing as a hellcat, or any muscle car, it is quick, but once you turn, its over.
@@NethercraftMC That's why you own a non American fast car that handles.
@@rasta77-x7o exactly but teslas aren’t the only comparison
So you're saying being slow is better for racing?
Boys. Should have given Dai a lap at the end.
He looked so bored in the Tesla but focused. And looked so happy in the Porsche
Cope
@@georgyzhukov6409 cope? What am I coping with 😂😂😂. I think any car guy can admit the Porsche is better
EVs definitely need more love in the car community. I feel there's a negative connotation that EV owners are rich, environmental snobs. But a majority of people drive them just for their ease of use and at home charging.
The awesome thing about the gt3 rs is that it has an actual functioning interior
Porsche 911 GT3 RS all day everyday 😘
Having owned both cars, let's not understate the facts that you need a higher degree of skill to drive a Porsche; whereas your grandmother can get those times with very little effort in a Tesla. (Yeah, I'd rather be driving the Porsche around a track.)
a 50k car within half a second of a quarter million dollar car is insane
To make it even with the best track weapon that Porsche has to offer, they raced it against a mundane electric sedan. 😂😂 I can hear teardrops right now. Sounds like rain.
Tbf the 991 gt2 rs absolutely demolishes everything, but it's funny to see a family sedan which costs 3x less staying on par with a track monster😂
It's literally had everything that can be modified done to be the best at piles peak vs a straight from factory car lol. Like putting frustrated eg vs a stock aventador and laughing at the lambo 😂
Mad congrats on the donut dudes for realizing their dreams… but I kinda miss the poor boys goofing off
As a car guy, I can’t believe Jeremiah closed the door on the Porsche by the window! Great video though, guys!
Hate on electrics all you want, it’s pretty cool that you can get Porsche level performance with one, including mods, for like a 1/4 the cost.
for one lap only and that's it
@@verdelenot really. Maybe a half second loss on the 2nd lap. Not much.
@@verdele not true. But even if it was, I’d still be happy in a car that can run just as fast as car that costs 4-5x as much.
But you will not get the same passionl
Who even cares?
I do not want to go fast or win!
@@Acarloveredits what passion are you talking about? The Tesla does everything a race car would do minus the engine. It’s got tons of modifications and hours put into it to make a hill climb car. How is that not passion?
If you want to put the spectators asleep and make everyone not Remember the track event buy an EV.
dude that shot with the tesla in the tunnel
so clean
Guys, i have a good suggestion for you! Buy a Donut lift trailer to take with you when you have track days, you could see the whole track, wouldnt really be that expensive 😍
a plaid with the track pack and same mods would have without a doubt beat the porsche. We're getting into those days already where a tesla is a better track car than a quarter million dollar porsche. we're pretty much already there.
I’d really like to see it again with the exact same tires. I can’t imagine that a 3600 lb Tesla with 65 less horsepower can almost match a GT3 RS with active aero. Those Tesla tires were clearly track tires whereas the GT3 was on sticky street tires
I was one of the Tesla haters till I went used eco car shopping. Then when I found out you can get a used model 3 for under 30k, I tried it out; now I absolutely love the thing. Have two diesel trucks and now this little scooter parked next to them.
People seem to forget that speed is one aspect of a car that enthusiasts love and it’s the only argument electric car guys can use because electrics loose every other aspect we love about cars
