      @@Horvatinjo1983lol. Go watch any porsche video or basically 90% of all car racing vids on youtube, its alll drag racing. Porsche knows drag racing times are what sells cars, so they made their cars fast in acceleration. And all i see are porsche fans creaming their pants over how fast the 911 turbo S was in a 1/4 mile. Then when another car beats it, then its suddenly not important.

      It takes way more effort, knowledge and engineering to make an ICE engine and it work well than an electric motor.
      It's the same as comparing a digital quartz clock to a mechanical one: the ingenuity and parts manufacturing, tolerances and the brains to come up with the mechanism that it works. As well as watching it work (or listening to it with engines) to me is more fascinating.

    Every CT I’ve ever seen in real life is absolutely filthy with rust and/or dirt and fingerprints everywhere.
    Seems legitimately impossible to keep clean longer than 3 days or even get it back to newish cleanliness when washing

      Nope it does not confirm his lies! In 6, 1/8th mile races the ct outright won twice, tied the 911 twice and lost twice=overall a tie.
      It outran the Porsche in the 1/4mile twice out of the 6 runs.
      And the times are 3 tenths slower in the 1/8th than tesla achieved in its runs per the actual ct chief engineer who shared the data on X months ago now proving fenskes is a liar. Also mkbd ran a 10.9@117+mph in his empty tri motor cyberbeast.👍🏻😎
      Fenske is a sandbagging pos=the end!

    It’s still extraordinary that the Cybertruck towing a car beat the Porsche to 80mph (130km/h) every time meaning that fossil cars like this have zero chance in any traffic light drag that doesn’t hit illegal top speeds even when the CT is towing a load!

      Old cars like the Lancia Delta S4 1.8 liter do 0-60mph in 2.4 sec on gravel.
      So even with petrol cars everything is possible.

    isn't the Cybertruck on all-terrain tires? put all-terrains tire on 911 and try again?

    • @nirfz
      @nirfz 16 днів тому

      Put summer tyres on the CT and try again. Won't change the power to weight ratio.
      In the first few meters where traction and the manual gearbox launch matter, the CT is faster. But then when power to weight comes into play the CT has to loose because of physics.
      Even when you put good high performance summer tyres on the CT, the time it gains is not enough to beat the slowest 911 on a 1/4 mile.
      (not even on unprepped normal roads as the 911 has pretty good traction anyways with the position of it's engine and it's wide back wheels.)
      And if you put AT's on the 911 the result would also be the same. (there are even AT's available for the 911 as Pirelly made some for the 911 Dakar which is already sold out despite the price.)
