Gold Member BOHICA Posted May 21, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted May 21, 2023 Oops. Accidentally set the lap record while not trying too. 😂 As noted by UP, the Model S Plaid’s incredible 1:20.03 lap was potentially the best accident the group could have ever wished for. According to FastestLaps, the Tesla crushed its nearest competition, a highly modified Porsche 911 GT2 RS, by over a second. Other top performers beat by Dark Helmet include a Dodge Viper ACR Mark V, a McLaren 720S, a Lamborghini Huracán Performante, and a Porsche 918 Spider, just to name a few. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-plaid-lap-record-accidentally/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidude600 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Electric cars have their place, but they can't replace the lope of a cammed out big block, the whine of a supercharger or the smell of race gas. Never got a hard on sitting in silence. Just sayin...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
