When the future arrives you embrace it. I've never driven a manual in my life, they've been obsolete for 60 years. When I was young the apologists for manuals said they were more efficient, that's not true any more so even sports cars like the C8 Corvette don't offer them.

    @TrackPackRT 3 года назад +4

    Here in Edmonton which is 2300 feet above sea level (if you guys are in Colorado you understand the elevation disadvantage when it comes to running good times), regular Hellcats run in the 10s. However most of them are running at least a drag radial like a Nitto 555R. If you guys had street tires on that Redeye you'd have to put some serious heat into them to make them hook up, and that's only if the track prep for the day was really good. I imagine you guys didn't want to torch your rear tires too much with multiple long burnouts. The Hellcat is by far the faster car but it takes some skill and good tires to get it off the line clean. As a side note though, Teslas are awesome and it's cool how they are opening peoples eyes to the potential performance electric cars can offer!

    • @TFLcar

      Thanks. We’re at over 5000 feet above sea level. At Bandimere we saw most with hellcats running Hoosier racing slicks. Most folk don’t get how challenging it is to launch a Hellcat and just how much hp power you lose @mile above sea level.

    Fun video guys! This might sound counterintuitive, but did you try launching in first gear? You'll still have wheelspin, but it will be slower and easier to modulate. This comes from experience, though in fairness, it's from the road course and a different car (another gnarly Dodge product), so I don't know how well it translates to the drag strip. I still had to contend with tire spin, and a lower gear made that more predictable for me.

    Bet the Red Eye lost way more than 6 miles of range per run. Re-gen, low cost of electricity per mile, no oil changes, no transmission fluid changes, and virtually no required maintenance, means the Tesla is way cheaper to run each race. Plus virtually no wear and tear on the drivetrain means a high-mileage car keeps it's performance better than a high mileage internal combustion engine.

      I can tell you love those teslas. Make sure you've got your Rock Hudson designer jeans on with the rainbow flag and the zipper in the back and the knee pads in the front. And also make sure you wear your tree hugger t-shirt. After all I'll be wearing a Mopar shirt and my car will have 1500 horsepower at the wheels there is no replacement for displacement. You take that electric Tesla and you put it against a 2000 horsepower drag Mustang or a 4000 horsepower funny car. You're going to get the paint peeled off of that Tesla.

It's frustrating getting old and watching skill sets become redundant but, on the other hand, there are compensations. I can have superior acceleration in an EV every time and I've got a smart phone.

      I wondered that too. Looks like the dice were loaded in several ways against the 2wd musclecar.

      It's a bleach box for burnouts to warm up the tires so they grip better

      Trackhawk would still get gapped. This track is at high altitude. EVs don't care about DA.

    If you put a top fuel dragster on street tires, it'll also lose to the Tesla. What's the point of this? On street tires in good conditions this car runs mid 11's, on slicks it runs mid 10's.

    You need DR’s if you’re going to actually race a Redeye. Those street tires are pointless on a car like that.

      A streetcar that can't launch properly just sucks out of the factory. So it needs to get prepped making it unfair. Like, you don't compare a prepped car vs a no-prep car. Prepped=at least tires but usually also a bit of suspensions and a stabilizer.

    The non performance M-Y would beat the Hellcat. Maybe you can put a Lime scooter up against it.
