That’s really fast for a four door production car! I only included the top 30 runs, but expect to see more like this as time goes on. Maybe tires were a limiting factor.

. And only $130,000 for the Tesla Model S Plaid vs $2,700,000 for the Mercedes-AMG One... that's 21x less expensive for 87% of the speed and then there is the daily practicality.

Working the numbers.. nice! Seriously though, that Plaid is ridiculously fast. I was watching runs on the drag strip where a daily driver was dusting all these suped up muscle cars!

Goddamn you’re so patient

Fair enough :)

Sure, but there are some high school track stars with 95% of the speed of Usain Bolt.

When you're talking about races near a world record, every millisecond matters

Following that logic, an Audi RS3 Limousine is half the price of the Tesla Model S Plaid and only need 40% of its power to make about the same lap time (7:35.52)...
