August 21st, 2021 at Bradenton Motorsports Park (1/4 mile NHRA dragstrip).
Running on the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (21”), while racing against the fastest full-bodied cars we could find.
Race #, ET, MPH, Reaction, 60-ft, Mode, W/L Margin, Vs
Tesla: 9.941. 140.99, 0.367, 1.54, W by 0.1103 (Plaid Mode)
Demon: 10.38. 135.52, 0.038, 1.78, L by 0.1103
This race was in “Plaid Mode” (NOT “Drag Strip” mode and did not use launch control). The accelerator was not at full during the entire race, in an effort not to run faster than 9.90.
Note: ET’s always exclude Reaction Times! The time from Green Light to the finish line is the total of RT + ET. ET is the time from actually crossing the Start Line to crossing the Finish Line, irrespective of the driver's reaction to the light.

NHRA really need to revisit the rules for modern cars. I get that it was probably something needed back when people were commonly running 60's / 70's muscle cars capable of mid 9's with massive mods but still equipped with the same (lack of) safety in the vehicle design. Both the Tesla and Demon would be safer running low 9's at 150+ than a built 60's / 70's muscle car running even low 11's.
especially when those days with only traction on the rear, they'd be lifting the front and weaving all over the track.
Completely agree. The 10 second rule for modern and largely unmodified cars makes absolutely no sense.
I don't know. Hit some debris on the strip the wrong way, you hit the wall at over 150mph. The line needs to be drawn somewhere, and right at 10 seconds seems to make sense.
you have to consider the plaid is pretty hard to stop at 150mph cause it's so heavy
Roll one at 150 and come talk.
I currently own a Dodge Hellcat Super Stock but am taking delivery of our Plaid this Tuesday. Pretty excited to get my hands on the Plaid. Awesome footage as always!!!
@@raymondrocco8607 All comes down to opinions! Want a low 9 second car that's less than $150k that you can also daily? Plaid is great for that, runs 9.2 every day of the week and gets 120mpg. ('mpge')
Expecting extreme luxury and amazing build quality but don't care about performance or economy? Go with a Merc or something. :)
Tesla makes really amazing drivetrains and has great software to run it, but they're certainly not amazing at making a luxury vehicle. I'm not sure anyone buying a Plaid is really looking for that though, they just want the performance and ability to daily it. (Granted Tesla's in-house seats are some of the most comfortable on the market though! They got that right at least!)
@@raymondrocco8607 Hahaha!!!
You're a funny guy.
@@raymondrocco8607 haven't you heard about Plaid+?
It is waiting for competition to beat the Plaid.
@@raymondrocco8607 Tesla Roadster SpaceX edition for sure will beat everything on line.
@@raymondrocco8607 Dodge should put a factory roll cage on that car so drivers aren’t restricted.
This is hilariously insane how easy it is for you to peddle it and stay ahead of these cars. Damn that's something!
“Posted 1 minute ago“. What am I doing with my life...
Great video btw. this shows more and more Tesla supremacy on dragstrips that are literally afraid of a 150mph sedan. Nuts.
A 4 door stock sedan - hilarious if mum, dad and the kids did a turn on the way to the mall and blew away the fastest performance car - sadly it'd be illegal.
It's just breathtaking how fast the Plaid is. Imagine going to a Tesla dealership, taking home a Plaid, and then owning anything and everything at the dragstrip. Astonishing.
Yet I’d hope that new owner has some drag racing experience, because hitting 150MPH regularly is not for noobs. Track anomalies and changing conditions might lead to a bad situation. Safety gear buys time to get out of the inferno. Just sayin’.
But on the street? Many fools wrecked their P100DL, with stories all over the news. (The kid in Florida, the show off in Houston who tried to get out the back door and failed.) Google “teenager killed in tesla” for more.
So how many more in the Plaid? Hopefully none, but let’s be realists…
@@TeslaPlaidChannel agreed. I watched Doug Demuro's review of the Plaid and the look on his face when he gunned it was pure fear and adrenaline. He even said that there will be many unfortunate accidents in the upcoming future by unskilled drivers. Cheers.
@@TeslaPlaidChannel - You just verbalized my fears the: the Plaid. I am envisioning some really bad accidents with tragic results. An average driver lacks the experience to handle car with this much power and weight. Irregularities in the road, curves and most of all shopping a 5000 lb (with driver) car at speed.
@@danmyers9372 well, thats what comes when you put 1000hp in a somewhat 'affordable' sedan. Fatal accidents just come with that, nothing we could change, since people wan't more power.
Can't wait to see the caged Plaid!
Video Dislikes = Guys who just bought a Demon and then watched this video.
And he can buy a pulley and an e85 tune for 1000 bucks and beat the plaid.
@@ultrazls1 yes more power. Because it's the lack of power that's the weak point in the hellcat
@@ultrazls1 you forgot to ad more slicks, upgraded fuel pump, and injectors to that $1000 tune & smaller pulley. At that point you're best to add meth-injection to address the extra heat, soo ...
@@knight2386 cutting weight would be most effective. But there are trade offs in certain respects etc. depends on your goal and what you want from a car. Demons can be made into 8 second cars fairly easily. and yeah this car lack power compare to a plaid. Its 800 hp vs 1000.
To beat the demon without gas engine nor a transmission best of it nothing to service. 👏👏
Damn you have 2 tesla plaids, thats insane man
It will be explained more when I take delivery. Full explanation forthcoming…
@@TeslaPlaidChannel one that’s gutted, one that’s for daily :)
That is the race I have been wanting to see, Thanks.
Unfortunately, the Demon didn't run well, and the Plaid is handicapped due to track rules. If the Demon would have ran any quicker he would have won or the Tesla driver would have been a liar lol...
How long before Plaids are banned from the tracks, wow.
They already are. He has to let up at the end to not exceed the maximum speed. Notice the Demon catching him? It’s because he let off the accelerator.
when american electric beats american muscle....its sad to see but cool at the same time.
Agree on both counts 👍
Its just advancement in technology. Look how long the ICE has been around and still will be but not in cars.
Don't worry. Tesla is a true American company
just slap a plaid engine on a demon and make it lighter
@@hondacivic2295 Yeah, if the Plaid had an engine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao demon launched pretty well if you ask me. 🤷🏻♂️😂 AND you still let off the accelerator.
It was a bad launch

@@mattaut88 lol
What time do you think are we looking at that point?
@@bayramodeberdiyev3825 Every 100lbs of weight reduction drops a tenth in E.T. There are examples of the Model S that reduced 1000lbs from the car. So maybe 8.30s to 8.40s

Looking forward to seeing what other mods you do to the next plaid to lighten it up. Maybe stripping out the interior, and adding carbon fiber seats etc.
Can't wait to see you finally be able to run flat out, and make buyers remorse a commonality at every track you visit.
I was in the same boat as you but used car prices are absolutely insane right now so I was able to get way more than I could have a year ago for my P100D

Great video Andrew, can wait to see the flat out passes coming.
Much respect for both of you guys good race!👏
Can't wait to see what mods you do to the plaid . 🤞For the record
When you take delivery of the 19” wheel plaid can you please make a video on 1/4 mi and 0-60 times? I have 19” configured on my order for comfort, and haven’t seen anything in regards to 19 inch wheels. I just want to know if the sacrifice of comfort is worth it for the performance difference
I’m not sure many have been delivered yet? (My order was placed in the first few minutes.)
Picking it up in two hours from now. Testing it at the 1/8th mile dragstrip tomorrow (if it doesn’t rain).
Still need the roll cage and parachute to test it at any 1/4 mile track within 200 miles.
damn another plaid? you are the man!
also you and drag times, you both slayed a demon in one night, aha! keep up the vids!
Funny coincidence that was. And FWIW, my video was up first 😀
The plaid with the roll cage, are you planning to gut it to lighten the weight too?
Yes.
@@TeslaPlaidChannel I think we've seen a 9.18 or something with gutted interior! It'll be awesome seeing the Plaid as a true drag car instead of a street car at the strip. I think that'll really bring some attention to it when people see it rolling up with a chute. :)
@@VoxelLoop 9.08
@@user-zf1ol7op7y Ah right! That's the one. :)
It would be insane to see an 8, but I'm not sure it'd be possible. Would need some serious weight savings.
Maybe bucket seat instead of the rather heavy fake leather seats?
Pretty sure the 9.08 Plaid was just some interior trim removed, I 'believe' they still had both front seats. I'm not sure exactly.
@@user-zf1ol7op7y Yes, but you have to add back in the weight of the cage..plus the driver was VERY light.
That one trick pony dodge has been excercised. Now its just a cat. This is precisely why I sold my gt500. Tired of the massive amount of sht that has to be done just to get gapped and whooped by stock Teslad.
The first warning was the model 3 performance Now it's pointless
@@raymondrocco8607 , you're joking, right? even the previous version of the Model-S beat the Redeye (MSRP $91k). the plaid had to slam on the brakes against the Redeye because they didn't want to get disqualified for going too fast.... they literally had to slam on their brakes in middle of the race because they would win by so much that they would be kicked off the track... that's like your dad slowing down in a foot-race just to make you feel good when you were a child...
if you like it for the vroom-vroom noises, that's fine, but the Plaid is an energy-efficient luxury daily driver that can hand the heck-kitten its balls without even doing the full launch mode.
@@somedude-lc5dy Holy shit you murdered that guy
@@raymondrocco8607 very true! The icer did a great job for a lower purchase price, but all those 800 mile oil changes and burned out tires will catch up quickly m, especially when those blowers bog
@@raymondrocco8607 my Plaid only cost $119k (granted they later raised the base price due to exceptional demand). Also, good friggin luck finding a dealer selling a new Redeye for $90k, and not screwing you with ridiculous markup. Furthermore, one of these cars is insanely useful as a daily driver and a family trip car with colossal storage space and great interior tech, while the other is a one-trick pony that reaches its claimed specs one run out of a hundred in perfect conditions.
@@raymondrocco8607 yes indeed i do have a Tesla Plaid ordered for the price of $119k. That was the price on launch day September 22nd, 2020, when i ordered mine. They raised the price twice since then due to extraordinary demand. i'd post a screenshot of my Tesla account page, but youtube doesn't allow links in the comments. i'm sure a simpleton like you would continue to just deflect and accuse endlessly anyway, so drop the pretense. i also currently own a Model S P100D. have fun voiding your warranty and making your shitbox completely unusable as a daily driver in the hope of maybe on the prefect day under perfect conditions keeping up with my silent, effortless, bone stock family sedan on all-weather tires. maybe more exclamation points will assuage your insecurity ... but i doubt it.
Dope content as always!! 👍🤠
Awesome video Andrew. Great car to match up with; you know people want to see this! Hopefully you guys can meet up again, or perhaps Klaus.
🎅? I know him.
Great video as always! Regarding your dedicated track car:
There's another thing to consider about trying to get it into the 8s. Look at the power ramp curve Tesla published when Plaid was announced. Rate of power ramp-up is limited to protect drivetrain (and limit spinning on stock tires). In other words, you don't get full power immediately off the line, as you know (same with my P100D).
Power ramp up from 0 to about 50mph is the same for Raven and Plaid. That's why 60ft times right now for the Plaid are no better than Raven, despite the huge power difference. If that could be modified to ramp up faster in the Plaid (currently it can't), that along with sticky tires, weight reduction in the cabin, and lighter wheels, these combined would make a HUGE improvement.
I'm friends with some very good Tesla software hackers. Gonna contact them to see if there's any way the power ramp curve can be modified/customized and saved to memories. It would likely void any warranty, I'm sure. And risk drivetrain damage. But to make the fastest Plaid in the world....
track mode is coming... along with the limit removal to 200mph. Don't void the warranty just yet!
I do NOT understand why track managers don't allow you to get to 9.3s on the 1/4 mile......
Waiting to watch runs at max power from your Plaid !!
Greetings from Barcelona :)
Next video, lots of 150MPH 👍
@@TeslaPlaidChannel Thanks man !!
Can someone explain what this is about? Why can’t he just go flat out
@@TheSqueak99 NHRA Rules. Cage required under 9.9 seconds.
Not all tracks are NHRA certified, but those that are must abide or face consequences like loss of insurance.
@@TeslaPlaidChannel , Correct. In order to keep the NHRA sanction for advertising, and record setting, they have to abide by the NHRA rules they agreed to, in order to get their qualification. One of those rules is the cage requirement for safety. Its not a bad rule. Jethro can build a faster car than his engineering prowess will handle. The rule is for Jethro's benefit, and the kids who might be watching, including his kids.

damn you can't even go all out and you're still beating these cars!! I'd personally rather have a manual, gasoline powered car just because of the sound and feel, but I love these electric cars! Would love to own one of each someday 🤙🏼 Reminds me of that scene in I-robot with will smith, taking place in 2030's. He has a gas powered crotch rocket and she is absolutely shocked it still runs on gas not electric 😂
Is the second Plaid, going to be gutted of excess weight, like seats etc. Or simply fitted with a role cage? just seen you answer the same question in the comments. Good luck, look forward to seeing what it can do.
Great videos. I like your style and attitude.
Heh only 1020hp to the wheels due to battery restrictions, and software limited to 163mph at the moment and 200lbs lighter than last years model.
All these people that hate the Tesla or are in such “shock” at how fast it is. It’s an American built car, costs 150,000 & was built by a pure genius with billions of dollars behind the research, testing & engineering of the car. So YES it’s truly the first of its kind. More from other companies will follow in Tesla’s foot steps in making electric ⚡️ cars & there are plenty of modified cars out there that can beat it now (there’s always someone faster no matter what car you have).
👍🏻 $119,900 is actually what it cost. About the same as most buyers paid for their C8 Corvettes in 2020 (after Dealer markups!)
Just straight up embarrassed that Demon.

@@xxDeath99Starxx But nobody here can afford it so...
As I'm an EV fan I'm really enjoying the videos. But puzzled by some points, why is the track manager always limiting the Plaid to around 10 secs? Not quite sure what's the difference in a "sportmans" tree and the "pro" tree lights? Can someone tell me?
Explained here: www.rbracing-rsr.com/nhraxtree.html
No restrictions at Orlando Speed World anymore.
Never any restrictions at Showtime Dragstrip.
Bradenton Motorsports Park hasn’t been properly enlightened yet…
Purpose built drag monster loses to a iPhone what a time to be alive.
No disrespect to the plaid here at all but one makes 840hp and the other is just over 1,000hp. There really shouldn’t be any surprise at all that the Plaid is faster by such a margin especially when considering the advantage that instant torque gives even if everything else was equal. Great video and good kill.
Thats what everyone forgets but lets let them celebrate their victory for now.
You're living my dream man, I can't wait til I'm able to afford a plaid let alone a tesla in general
Heard plaid plus is coming soon....
Andrew, as usual, you never fail to post a really great video... Watched Leu's coverage and the dominance of your car still amazes me. With those 3 150+ runs, did you pedal it at the end, or just kept a FENDER ahead of the opposition? Friend is getting a leased Plaid and can't wait for a little demonstration. 30 years ago had a highly modified Buick GN that I used to have an HKS (foreign car) adjustable boost gage with 4 settings from 8 lbs. To 22 lbs. Of boost. Much fun and very profitable just staying 1/2 to one car length in front of my opponent. It added roughly 50+ HP everytime I went 1 boost level higher. 30 years ago turbos were still BLACK MAGIC to most racers, especially on the street with McCreary 15 inch tires. At e- Town ran 10.00's at 135, just about unbeatable street car at the time. You dominance brought back many sweet memories of a middle age misspent!!!
Love it! 😀 Those GNs ruled the day back then!
And glad that this is all just for grins today, and not a hustle for money like those days gone by…
don't cut them any slack, giv'em a fair race.
If the plaid goes all out he'll get thrown off the track for running under 9.99 and trapping over 145. Their rules say he needs a cage and a chute for that.
that was a very good grip on the take off from the demon 💯 them some good tires seriously 💯
I missed the explanation why track management is putting a ceiling on your ET???? Anyone know??
Because he doesn’t have the roll cage
Because the land of the free isn't as free as they make you believe.
Any NHRA approved tracks, must abide by NHRA rules. Their rules state that cars running under 10.00 (1/4 mile) must have a roll cage, and anything over 150mph (1/4 mile) must have a parachute. That means cage and chute for the Plaid. The track is kind enough to let him run, knowing that he can exceed both of those limits, and are trusting him to honor them.
needs roll bar and safety equipment to run that fast at a dragstrip
I used to love watching matchups between exotic (ICE) road cars. But the arrival of the Plaid has kind of made everything else seems redundant. I mean what's the point of watching two Italian thoroughbred hyper cars thrashing it out when you know that either of them would be eaten for breakfast by the Plaid? I'm looking forward to an age where we have multiple electric brands that will all be running high 8's to low 9's.
Next year will be that year as the lucid air dream edition tri motor can supposedly do 9.3s in the 1/4mile if you watch their RUclips video's. Supposedly Porsche has a tri motor gt rs edition taycan in the work's.
Then Audi will likely pump up the new e tron sedan with a tri motor. As they just released a tri motor version of the e tron suv.
So by summer or late 2022 their should be 4 or 5 different options available for a 9sec or faster, 4 Dr ev family sedan. 😎
Thanks for these bite-sized race videos. They are still great fun to watch! It will be interesting to see how your new Plaid Model S performs compared to the current one on the 21" wheels/tires. The Dodge Demons are very interesting, being truly streetable, drag race focused, factory race cars. The Ford Mustang Cobra Jet and Camaro COPO factory drag race cars are formidable, but hardly versatile, or street legal. The Demon, and later Redeye Hellcat models are both quick and fast, but can be easily driven on the street. With that said, the trick for those models always seems to be traction on stock tires. I always thought that the Hellcat models should have had AWD from the factory, whereas only the truck versions ever did. This Demon had a relatively slow 60' time, and it could have probably ran a high 9 second time if it had pulled off a 1.40 60' time. I don't think that I've seen a factory-stock Demon run that famous advertised 9.65@140MPH time yet, although all of the Hellcat models do respond well to drag racing tweaks. Which you have seen first-hand at the track!
His burnout was subpar due to a line lock issue. He warned me beforehand that this might happen. I took a relaxed tree (0.367). He nailed his at 0.038. That was perfect for what I wanted to show: both cars pulling hard side-by-side from about 100ft. I wasn’t surprised that I had to pedal it later to stay above 9.90, but it was nice to have that power in case I needed it. (I would have pushed it harder to stay ahead if needed, after all he doesn’t have a cage either, just like that last Redeye race a couple weeks ago where I ran a 9.70 to beat him by a nose.)
Great fun. So many great cars out on this night! Five more race videos coming soon! 🎥
Need to remember the race was run in the middle of the summer which really slows down ICE cars.
Why is there a track that won't allow you to run your car?
I’m an absolute Tesla fanboy, no denial there. But I still salute the guy who re-engineered the Dodge to achieve what it did.
"I had to pedal it because of the track manager"
Must be a Dodge Hellcat or Demon owner.
Lmfao!!!
A 9 second car that anyone can buy (given that fact if you can afford it) comes straight from the factory killing the competition!!!
How u can ban for going to fast ? Isn’t that the point??
Why are you always doing a turn before lining up? Is it forbidden to drive over the Burnout Zone?
Wet tires aren’t good for traction.
I love speed. Electric is awesome and has a big future but.... for me it'll never be the same as burning dinosaurs. The sound, the smell, the feel. Keep the footage coming and I can't wait to see some electric mods.

The big brain Silicon Valley California engineers are really improving on there Tesla cars. Awesome
You just can't beat the torque and horsepower from an electric motor. The power is instant. I was just watching videos here with the Tesla Plaid beating a ninja H2 (sport bike) multiple times. Their only downfall is the range due to the battery. Apart from that the Tesla is a true muscle car.
👍 And 396 miles per charge is not bad at all. We drive for over 4 hours, then we are ready for a break anyway 💦 🍱 🍗
Its sad that none of these rear wheel drive cars cant run this fast on an unprepted track. The fun is watching them try.

@@TeslaPlaidChannel awesome! technically on paper 19in should have the first few feet advantage? right? If they did not do some sort of factory calibrating for each wheels size. (cheetah mode)

Why the delay?
They moved my delivery from August to February.
Ur lucky.
They said a bridge burned down before the train carrying my car could cross it. Yes, seriously.
So they had to offload it to a truck, and it will be here this week…
Will the car go that fast in reverse? Let us know.
interestingly, since it's powered by simple electric motors, it doesn't have to "change gears" to reverse. the motors are attached to a single-speed transmission (a 10:1 reduction gear), and they simply reverse polarity for reverse. The only thing stopping it from doing a 9.2 quarter mile in reverse is software (which limits it to very chill acceleration and 15mph in reverse).
Nice!
that demon would've got killed on the highway no prep lol
Well, there is no question, that Demon is a lot ...louder.

What’s the point of racing if you have to slow down to make the race stewards happy. Just try another drag strip. Brooks at drag times never has this problem
The NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) is a drag racing governing body, which sets rules in drag racing and hosts events all over the United States and Canada. Their rules are strictly followed at most drag strips across the country for public safety reasons. I think that Brooks privately rents the dragstrip that he uses for special racing events, which is different than public head-to-head drag racing.
@@tbatba7598 well alot of people other than brooks there is guy how raced the modified 1000 hp zr1 he gone to dragstrip multiple times runs 9.3 9.2 all day no one said anything to him i woll link the channel name and the other guy who is world record plaid 1/4 9.08 he runs multiple 9.2 and 9.1xx runs same thing no one said anything

@@Chuck88vert Lol, definitely not. There were no cars he could line up with that were faster at the track last night. I was helping to try and find cars for him to race.
@@Chuck88vert Obviously, you are only an internet racer. In real life there are few cars actually out at most people's local drag strips that can actually run 10s. He runs the fastest cars that he can find locally.
@@Chuck88vert I am guessing that "a lot" is a relative term, meaning one or two nine second or quicker cars that regularly drag race. Certainly there are some very quick drag cars around the country, and there is always someone quicker to be found. Especially at big drag racing events, as seen on the internet. But those dedicated race cars are not always found at your regular, local drag strips.
I’d like to see you give some sort of prize given to anyone who can beat you,
That would be a fun competition!
Does anyone know why you would get in trouble for running faster than what he said??? I don’t understand. Isn’t it just to see who’s fastest?? Anyone?
NHRA rules. 9.9 or faster requires a roll cage
Bro you werent on drag strip mode lol
19” Rims are finally shipping?!?!, it’s about time
Yep, I get mine this week…
@@TeslaPlaidChannel been waiting for my long range since January.
You need to go to a dragstrip where you can unleash the full pontential of ur car and others and actually make a good comparison videos of what the plaid can hang with
As teased in the first minute, that’s coming in the next video. Three runs all over 150MPH, vs 911 GT3, M8 Comp, and C7 Z06…
I’ll admit, I’m not big on the whole electric thing, but that car blows my mind at how fast it is.
^at accelerating^
Why would he get in trouble for running below 9.9?
NHRA RULES
Tracks want to be able to state they are NHRA sanctioned. So what happens when some one comes to the track with a custom built drag car doing over 150 mph in the qtr mile and low 9's?
Well that's a fully custom built drag car. So track rules state that when you drop below 10 seconds? You are going too fast and thus must equip your car with a roll cage. You also must attach and have a parachute that deploys at the end of the run.
But no one on planet Earth, Mars, or from Zentar EVER thought that a 4 door family car with stock tires for getting groceries or daily driving to work would also produce dragster performance times like the Tesla.
So yes, they require a parachute and also require a roll cage in such dragster cars for reasons of safety.
So the problem is the Tesla is going too fast according to the national hot rod association that most dragster and drag strips who's rules they follow.
So unless that 4 door grocery shopping car that's also producing drag strip times that gets a parachute and roll cage?
He will get kicked out until his nice quiet family sedan get the appropriate drag strip equipment. However they do let him drive if he babies the throttle and does not run below 10 seconds. (They allow about .1 below that and will not give you trouble). Any faster and you breaking the track rules.
So he can go to fast - but once a roll cage and parachute is installed? He can return to running low 9's and over 150 mph in the qtr mile.
If you read this far?
Beyond any comprehension that this cute 4 door family car can go so fast that according to NHRA drag strip rules he needs roll cage and a parachute.
Like I said: is this car really from planet Earth?
Nuts! And beyond breath taking what this Tesla car and technology does.
I need both a demon and a plaid
4:08: Why would that get you in trouble with the track manager?

@@TeslaPlaidChannel Ok, I got it. He is right, actually....wants to level the playing field between electric and combustion. I honestly think that they should be in two different categories, because it's unfair to have an electric, no lag, motor compete against a combustion motor.
The Plaid has to let off and pedal....just so the Demon stays in the mirrors.......Meanwhile the family of 4 in the Tesla asked if that silly car was trying to "race" them. :-)
Pats Dodge engineers on the head
Why did he run a 10.3? Isn’t that demon supposed to be a 9.6?
Under the most rare and perfect conditions (perfect temperature, DA, and humidity plus a tailwind, perfect traction, and maybe downhill) I’ve seen a stock Demon run 9.90s. Any faster requires modifications. And as all drag racers know, “once modified, there’s always someone faster”.
gutting the new car and adding a single kirkey bucket?
Dodge demon highest horsepower in a production car until Tesla plaid with 1020 🤣🤣🤣
There is no way that Demon got ate like that 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Get a free king roll cage!
My wife prefers the free queen roll cage…
That demon 60 ft. Is pretty poor, especially considering the tires used. I used to get those 1.6's consistently from my honda crx
He has run 1.30s before. His burnout was subpar due to a line lock issue. That’s why I took a relaxed tree; so that I wouldn’t get out on him early…
Go and raise demonology
Oh.. did you mention your plaid is 1000 go.
1000 hp. And all wheel drive.
Enjoy these gas vs electric races, or drag races in general. Once everythings electric, this sport is as good as dead since nobody will be watching it.
This is definitely a great moment in history. When the balance of power is tilting. I love a great sounding engine as much as anybody (but not just loud of the sake of loud, and not from my neighbors at 3am).
I've noticed lots of young people flocking to the Teslas in the staging lanes, more than to other cars, so maybe the next generation may take an interest. But being able to modify, customize, and tune these EVs must happen soon. The recent EV crate motors released from Ford and Chevy are a big step in the right direction!
@@TeslaPlaidChannel the future generation seems to be just interested in tech i noticed. Some younger people talk about autonomous drag racing or track racing and think that would be fun. If you think about it, it just won't work, since no one would watch these races. Also, mods will be tough, since they will ONLY be about power, not modding the character or anything of the car, which will minimize the things you could do to your car.
Nothing against EVs, but dragracing will just be a thing as long as gas engines are around. Appreciate the fact that you appreciate Gas cars and EVs. Right now, to have the choice is what makes it all so great. When EVs are all we got, we will have a serious problem in variety of cars.
@@hasangenc2922 Perhaps, but I’d like to rebuild my ‘69 Camaro Rally Sport someday, with an EV crate motor. I think there will be enough choice to make things interesting. How many electric motors? (1-4?) How much battery? Just enough for 10 passes or enough to take it on a 400 mile trip?
A fun time to have both as options.
ICE hobbyists are wrongly being legislated out of their hobby in some states (CA!), but nice to have a fall-back approach…
@@TeslaPlaidChannel EVs are just the first step in an autonomous future, so crate motors will just be a temporary thing before the whole world turns to fully autonomous vehicles. It will take some years, but its coming. Once new ICE cars gets banned in ten years, we are a bigger step in that direction already. Only a matter of time. Autonomous cars work the best in autonomous fleets. Plus Elons goal is fully autonomous traffic. No fatalities anymore.
I get what you mean, but i think we should enjoy it as it is, and then forget about motorsports, carscene and stuff. All of this won't work in an all electric future.
What's that sound? I hear Bitboy softly weeping.
why plaid driver does not use launch mode which will make 8.9 second on 1/4 miles racing?
Watch a few more of our 1500 races and learn that your statement is incorrect...
If only you can take hold of a NIO P9! 😁😁😁
race some drag civics
they are capable of 7 seconds
Raced one last night. It’s wasn’t pretty…
Not fan of ICE cars, but that Demon looks so menacing and purposeful.
Have you seen the Rich Rebuilds (yeah, he's a clown and a bit of a jerk - just turn off the sound when he is talking) video "Worlds First Deep Look under the Tesla Model S Plaid"? Definitely worth seeing. Man is the underbody smooth!
