Check out this incredible petrol vs electric drag race!
We’ve got our hands on the awesome Tesla Model S Plaid, and it’s facing off against an insane Corvette C8 that’s been tuned to 1,200hp!!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Tesla, it’s housing three motors under the skin that combine to produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. Naturally, the batteries and motors weigh a fair bit, and the Model S tips the scales at 2,167kg. What’s more, this Model S comes with a few upgrades, including some Koenigsegg carbon fibre aero at the front & around the back!
Then alongside it, we have the Corvette, which has had a whole lot more work done to it than just adding some aero! As a result, the 6.2-litre twin-turbo V8 now produces 1,200hp and an amazing 1,491Nm of torque! So it’s packing a serious punch, but this power is sent to the rear wheels only!
So will the Corvette be able to put the power down? Or will it be a clear win for Tesla? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Petition to have lights as a countdown to prevent jump starts for future races 🙋♂️
You pay for them and bring them every time 👌💀
If you get popular can you please change your comment to "we need a Hyundai Getz"
Ikr? The hands signs leave the newer guests confused resulting in jumping or late reaction times
Agreed 👍
Totally agree, I have also noticed it makes it unfair for anyone who is new to this. The lights will also show a fair representation of cars performance as well.
Looks like a stock c8 would do a better time than that on this surface man 🤣
The c8 was miss firing the whole race wym
Exactly
@@GWJ891 yeah, that thing was garbage.....
I agree plus it won't be miss firing and broken.
That Corvette is like the 1000hp 992 Turbo s (if you saw the video): on unprepped surface, it can't put all of the power down 😂
I appreciate that when Matt is speaking, at least one of his eyes is squarely looking into the camera while the other is reading the script.
True but wierd
Hahahaha cant ignore it 🤣 👍
Once you see it, you miss the rest of the content
Hahahah😂
Bro so true 😂
I think that Corvette left 300 hp at home....
Atleast
My thoughts exactly 😂
Tesla is faster than you think
And you being modest
I think it is safe to say that the corvette was tested on a Dynojet
An 11 second 1200 HP Corvette? I'm confused 🤷
Exactly, a standard 650bhp porsche 911 turbo s will do 10.1 1/4 mile. Does not look 1200 hp
It doesn't work properly that is why also the surface doesnt help it either
That is the problem when you tune a car so much reliability and consistency is out if the window
Z06 make 1/4 Mile in 10.5 s haha with only 670 hp@@leesmith6750
@@leesmith6750you mean AWD vs RWD with slicks? Yeah, 11seconds seem accurate
dude, don't be confused it's an American v8 what could you expect😂
Matt looks completely unfazed by speed now, he's driven to many fast cars ahahah
Even though he really enjoyed driving the F40 even without pushing it all, Teslas are just boring
@@Sebas_Mendez_KinomanTesla in my opinion are as boring as when driving these Ford cars from FORD RACING 3 NINTENDO DS.😂

@@Sebas_Mendez_KinomanNot true.

11 seconds for a 1200hp C8. The shame.
The sound that plaid makes while under full acceleration is bonkers!
Then you would love my vacuum sweeper.
Sounds like a freaking space ship hitting warp speed
I know it literally sounds like the sound effect they use in roadrunner cartoons when RR dusts the coyote
@@MrWildwilly48 Yep. I so miss the sounds and fumes of running through the gears of my old gasoline powered vacuum cleaner.
It's a fake sound effect emitted from speakers... all electric cars have this as it's legally required to have speakers that alert pedestrians to your presence because the motors themselves make very little noise.
The corvette was misfiring it's brains out on every run. Hats off to the owner for keeping it in the races.
Some great drag races in 2023, looking forward to what you have planned in 2024.
Yep should have far quicker, fair play for them still trying
De la grosse merde à cette puissance

Actually, that engine was probably almost done and that's why they let him thrash it and also why he said they were going to change it soon.
wouldn't have mattered either way lol
So I guess what we have learned is don't let Victor touch your Corvette 😂
Victor has no fucking idea what he’s doing clearly. I’ve got a 3 litre that runs 9s lol.
Preach it! Someone has ruined that corvette.
Or just dont buy chev junk lol
when an EV sounds more like an F1 car than an actuall F1 car
🤣🤣🤣
So if you over double the hp on the c8, you get 0.2sec faster in the quarter over stock?
If the tires don't have enough traction, the extra power isn't useful but yeah, I expected it to be faster.
Tesla killed the corvete it. Get over it
Mat and Sam's chemistry is sibling rivalry-ish. I love it
So happy he fired Yanni !!!

@@M-TRONI’ve never seen ANY “tuned” car on this channel run worth anything! I don’t know how they “tune” wherever they get these cars from but they SUCK. I’ve seen my friends cars pushing around 700-800 to the tires that would destroy that vette and give the Plaid a run for it’s money when taking power to weight into the equation. Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a modified Porsche, GTR, vette or M3 or M4 on this channel… they always break and/ or don’t perform on the level of the claimed power numbers. For reference one of my buddies had a STOCK Challenger Super Stock ( with the demon engine) and consistently ran 10.3s in the quarter. Maybe it’s the CarWow curse 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥👍🏿
@@dabro1569agreed … idk why , I could name HUNDREDS of people in my state “Texas” that would put cars on Tesla and that c8 lol , hell I know Full size TRUCKS , that would gap it .

That Tesla sounds like THX studio intro/theme :)
I just love how all tuning cars fall apart when they are stress tested 😂😂
literally.. They're a joke
That’s not true at all .
@@gabrielpichardo1492 Correct. If it's tuned by a reputable company then they can last a very very long time.
The words all and every are thrown around to loosely nowadays.
It depends a lot of who is doing it. The ones falling apart are not used enough time and money in it to get it to the point. But you could take a 1000hp car which is delivered with it and it will not have the slightest problem
That spaceship-like sound caught on rear camera of Plaid is just something else!!
You can get the same sound on your cell phone while driving a Prius.
@lifted_above and it still sounded better than "that particular" corvette.
Cue the Jetsons mobile sound...
The Corvette, along with its impressive sound, also sounds great.

How far can they both go at 120 MPH on an oval track ?
Maybe 100 miles to 130 miles or so.
Somebody tested this. Plaid can do 225km while going 200kph on the autobahn or 140 miles. Corvette could go like 100 miles if lucky lol. That engine isn't stock so its efficiency must by horrible. Stock would probably do about the same as the plaid but probably less.
A 1200hp engine uses a lot of fuel, they are not very efficient so i wouldn't be surprised if the tesla actually can go farther.
@@teresashinkansen9402 That is what confuses me. People complain about the range of an ev which can go 400 miles but also point out modified cars that can beat the plaid but... can't even go 200 miles.

Slowest 1200hp car ive ever seen
Totally agree. It doesn’t even look as quick as a standard.
Yea..Someone spent alot of money for nothing
@derrickhowell6803 correct I don't think it's got 1200hp to be honest
These corvettes do NOT like being tuned. It’s all ECU related and then the transmission has further issue putting the power down.
LMAO... They explicitly explained that this build and tune are very much so in the beta phase and that there are Hella kinks to be worked out. Soooo.... y'all think maybe that'd factor into this 1200 HP 'Vette being "slow?" I mean, for one, it's not slow and two, on what metric are you even basing that? The fact that the AWD Tesla Plaid is smoking a 2WD 1000 plus HP C8 Corvette?! That's a pretty sh*tty factor from which to base that...
The Plaid makes other cars appear as if they are standing still.

i like these excuses
There should be a way to make the battery produce more power because supposedly the motors arent the limitation, but the batteries anility to supply enough energy since its the same battery as the LR.
You can increase power while reducing capacity by changing up the series parallel configuration. you could upgrade the firmware, increase the wire guage for more power input, and upgrade the cooling for the battery.
This would lead to hopefully maxing out the plaid's motor potential at the cost of a little bit of weight for heavier wiring, and reduced range.
the dynamic duo. love it when these two make videos
By now we already know in advance what's gonna happen everytime a Tesla plaid is involved in a video
It would've lost if the c8 didn't misfire a hundred times in a race. It wasn't tuned very good unfortunately
@@sinanapenka9748that it lost because of “misfiring” is indicative of the fact that ICE cars are simply inferior to EVs. Just accept it dude.
@@sinanapenka9748 If this, if that. Always an excuse.
@tjtvi I'm a mechanic and work on both ICE and EV. I've replaced some horrendously expensive components on the EV stuff. Like, you could buy a decent second hand car for the price of the component, well into 5 figures cost wise. They can, and do go wrong, and when they do, it's either cripplingly expensive or a fire that burns for 5 days.
Until it races the lucid airs prestanda version that car is even faster

we need to see how this modified Tesla gonna do against the normal tesla plaid
No difference. Carwow has already run a stock Plaid and it ran the same time, 9.6s. Anywhere else the Plaid runs 9.2s easily.
This modified Plaid is not for straight line speed as you can see huge front splitter and spoiler which only add more drag, so i believe it is designed to do well at the track and high speed cornering ability.

What surprised me more is the fact that a Tesla actually won a brake test.
Hp is nothing without traction.
What do you think happens when you don’t have a fully prepped track surface to aid those shatboxes 😂 it’s always some excuse with these cars race gas, heat soak, goofy tires, and power that can only be put down in a controlled setting. 🤡 🤡
im always impressed how unemotional so much power can be, only in EVs 😂
You can do the following race, Tesla model S drag plaid Vs Mc Murtry ❤😊
The locked TCMs on the C8s is definitely a huge disadvantage with getting the big HP C8s to power forward smoothly. Can't wait for that to be unlocked. It wasn't too long ago that unlocking the ECM came available. Hopefully it won't be much longer for the TCM to be done.
Uh the C8 is unlocked now my man
Global B unlocked c8s
When I heard Sam describe the size of his brakes, my first thought was, why was Matt's Tesla the only one equipped with a drag parachute 😲
Very interesting actually.
My exact thought process
The drag parachute is not specifically mounted for this quarter mile race.
its set up for drag class rules, requiring a parachute to make multiple passes at or above 150mph in the quarter, and or below 10 seconds. iirc so its essentially a stock plaid, but one that wont get kicked out after the first run at the drag strip. Some strips wont let plaids run at all without a chute, they have notoriously poor brakes even at the first application, because the car uses painfully poor brake components as its only source of traction control. did you know the plaid doesn't even have DOT3 brake fluid? The brake pads are super low temp as well lol...its like they are purposely trying to kill their owners.
I guess there's no denying the performance of electric the Vette had a 200 hp advantage and still loss 9.6s sheesh
A stock vette would have run better than that 1200hp boat anchor. LOL.
Q: What does a corvette owner say after racing a plaid?
A: excuses.
LOL
Goes to show that traction is king when it comes to these types of races.
The vette had good traction, just no power, misfired horribly every race
@@sinanapenka9748 It's RWD on a muddy surface, I'm pretty sure it has some part to play in it's loss.
No way that thing is putting out 1200hp, it’s a giant POS. The stock z06 runs a faster 1/4 mile time.
@@not_mamba its engine is broken, traction doesn't even matter when it doesn't have power to wheel spin
Roll race?
Yes, a stock c8 would have done better I think.
true, a stock c8 does a quarter mile in 11s

@@tucanoguy4719how. I’d love to hear this.

1. A tuned C8 Corvette needs a prepped surface. It was never going to do well from a start on a dirty strip
2. Someone needs to rethink the transmission tuning in that Corvette. It should NEVER be nosediving and what looks like losing at least 10% of its forward momentum on every shift.
I really don't get why that Corvette was running so horribly. Pietz Performance knows what they are doing, normally. They tuned Emelia Hartford's C8 record holder in the quarter mile and it only had 1,022 HP but did the quarter in 9:41, granted it was on a prepped surface.
That Tesla is special. Is it the same team that made the one Randy Pobst drove (and crashed) on Pikes Peak?

It always amazes me, that a channel that focuses so much on drag races, always forgoes that fundamental part of drag racing.
Also, the vette looked like it had about 30psi in the tires. A good burnout, and proper tire pressure would help the vette.
Please bring it on Carwow !! My C8 is built with 1500hp top mounted twin turbo !!
how much did it cost to make it 1500?
As long a you park your EV at least 15 meters from anything you do not want to catch fire, you should be ok.
Plaid might not have an exhaust sound but that fly by sound is sick.
That's the only plaid I've heard make that noise. It was just modified.
This race was BS. The new bmws can easily beat it with a 10k turbo upgrade. I've never seen a tesla plaid win ever in the street racing scenes.
ValleyRacing plaid vs bmw g80 m3
1stockf30 plaid vs bmw m340i
Street racing for $ ^^^ plaid loses back too back to the new gen m3 and loses to the new m340i .
Whistle? Or what?
Sounds like a futuristic fighter jet
Corporate sent out a memo. They'd like you to go with "funky fresh " instead of "sick"
What about this one:

Plaid at 216mph.
Granted, the Corvette was not in top form, but already I've seen so many souped- up super cars humbled by a Tesla Plaid sedan. Electric power is impressive, no doubt about it.
Those wheels make the corvette look like a matchbox model 😂
Countach Twin Turbo ( the original rare one) vs Diablo!
That Corvette looked like it was about to do a wheelie with how much power it was "Trying" to put down.
Need to have this corvette back on the channel once its running properly
Probably being recalled as usual by Chevy
And the Porsche, R8, GTR....😂
I love sam’s demeanor 😂😂… hilarious guy 😂😊
Sam’s the best

It's weird but a long time ago I wasn't actually that much for Sam but now he's by far my absolute favourite on Carwow! Comes over as a really nice guy and sharp as a tack!
Fool was annoying AF this episode
So basically spend $180K on a corvette and you too can lose badly to a $80K Tesla.
Model S plaid in front of supercars: you fast? Oh you are? Ok cool. BUT NOT ANYMORE HAHAHA
Imagine a top gear style show with Matt, Sam and Yanni, would be incredible to watch
that would be just as annoying and unwatchable as 2016 top gear
Ditch Matt and I’m in, dude is annoying as f.
It would be a massive flop....after Jeremy, James and Richard it went down steadily.

@@jackdoyle2611no. For me it is enjoyable.
There's a modified R8 with 1400hp that walked on the Tesla Plaid like it was nothing, hope we get it to do some racing
Thats 380 hp more than the Plaid though
And +1000lbs lighter. It can't win with just 1400hp
The Tesla fly by sound was so cool
I want to see tuned b58’s supra’s vs plaids
