…at the end of the day, the Mustang was loaded onto an air conditioned trailer , and had all the fluids drained and the gas siphoned and the nitrous disconnected and driven back to the shop, where it will remain for the week.…while the Tesla driver picked up his wife and 3 kids and went grocery shopping …
No doubt!👍
Of course, but before he went to the charging station and waited a couple hours…

Mustang Driver: Warm up engine, Burn Tires, Rav to 5,000
Tesla Driver: Turn on ventilated seat
As a former Mustang Driver, I'm happy to say Tesla's do have a Drag Mode, but it takes 15 minutes to set up. It doesn't have to be done for but only the first run and then the next runs are all in that mode. But with being spontaneous the way we sometimes drive, it's not much use.
@@ninemilliondollars True. Tesla's are incredibly slow when not in drag mode and take forever to downshift when driving in traffic. They're slower than a worn out 1980 Chevy Citation with a slushbox!

The starts for both these drivers off the line were incredible. Some of the best out there.
What's so special about hit the pedal to the floor and drive in a straight line?

@@rickitysplitz7035 Reaction time?!? Did you see the the same times everyone else did? Lucky for them they were not bracket racing, they would be first round runner up for sure.
@@rickitysplitz7035 he was talking about the tesla i think...cuz that's all u do in a tesla whereas u need skill to drive gas cars
The skill to it is reaction time plus mastering a valid rolling start as the christmas tree lights up@@3DPeter
Shelby actually gave the plaid a pretty good race.
Yeah agreed it came second.

Tesla guy: haha step on the pedal car goes wheeeee
Well, more like "shmeeeeee"! 😄👍🙏
That’s funny
Tesla is also a $100K plus car.
plaid is $130k bro
@@joec.5009 which is $100k plus like I said
Things are changing. I grew up with the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's. Never thought I'd see this happen.
It was possible in the 1960s. The first time a person rode an electric platform was 1847, decades before they rode a gasoline-powered platform.
There's this issue called cost. What's the raw cost for producing that "Plaid" Tesla? What's the raw cost of producing the GT500? Therein lies the reason you haven't seen the proliferation of fast electric cars: they cost too much. If you're a relativist watermelon, you'd probably try to add all sorts of other costs that aren't really there.
America's being spoonfed a line of bovine scat for the sake of that contextual fraud "climate change"; and the ends will include the masses trading their key fobs for mass-transit tokens. The government's making rules that will drive up the cost of private transportation so ordinary folks will have no chance to own and operate a GT500. They sure has hell won't afford a Tesla "Plaid".
Yesterday, I drove a paid-for minivan to and from a major college football game. Four adults rode in this gasoline vehicle, covering about 500 miles easily in a matter of hours. Do that with the Tesla "Plaid", and see what it costs you in time and resources. The net efficacy of a high-powered electric car really hasn't changed much for the past six decades. And if you and I weren't paying for rich people to drive Teslas, there wouldn't been any at the race tracks or on the road.
I just bought a used electric car and went 2000 miles on a road trip. They work great. Climate change is real, and it is coming for you, your gas key fobs and your children's lives. We need to change. Get with it, or be cursed by all future generations.
@@shanefiddle your "climate change" is a fraud. And, no, I couldn't have driven an electric 500 miles yesterday.
If electric cars are all you believe they are, then get the government out of mandating them, and demand they thrive by way of their own merit. Fact is, they won't.
@@DHW256 what's hilarious about your statement is that the government isn't even close to mandating electric vehicles. And the vast majority of subsidies and tax breaks to car manufacturers making these kind of cars are mostly to increase domestic automobile production. The reality is the US for the first time in years was ahead of the curve.
People want to buy electric vehicles. And for some reason you're mad about that and are creating bizarre conspiracy theories. Maybe in 20 years you'll be right.
Also you can definitely go over 500 miles with an electric vehicle. You just got to charge it halfway through. Which by the way a lot of people do need to top off the tank with the normal car on a long trip, never mind bathroom breaks. But what I find even more hilarious is that it costs a few bucks to completely charge a vehicle. Well nowadays it can cost almost a hundred bucks to completely fill your tank.
When you're talking about electrics. It's like reliving old timey gas prices. My father paid more for gas in the sixties!
@@DHW256 lovely words from a dinosaur

The scary thing is, the guy in the Tesla was asleep and the car was on autopilot.
lol
🤣🤣🤣 I had the same thought.
He was watching TikTok in the backseat
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never watched Shmee before?
Lets bow our heads in a moment of silence for that Musty Stang! Stop racing S Plaids! Guaranteed 2nd place trophy

Like a man competing in women's sports, the women will fight for second place.
That was a hell of a race. For two cars to be so different and so close in performance.
This is what strikes me; apples and oranges still tasting great 🙂
so close? There was half a second difference...that's like an eternity in drag racing
Marty, GT500 1000hp
Doc, Tesla 1.21 gigawatts...great Scott.
good one, actually the word jigowatt was used, not gigawatt
@@kirtg1 Thanks but there is no such word as jigowatt. It's gigawatt. Look it up.
Technically, the Model S Plaid can consume 451 kW. We're about 3x away from 1.21 gigawatts. (Or maybe 750 kW if you convert from horsepower. Strangely...)
Yes, I realize it's a joke, but you can literally convert the output power to watts or kilowatts and they do not line up.
@@LordCommandor its from back to the future you tard. no one was saying its real kid..
@@fitybux4664 Boy, better go back to school and learn. Do your math, physics and think before writing.
I could see this coming the first time I rode on an electric bus in the 80's. I remember thinking "damn, this thing's got some torque!"
Yeah, I didn't notice the torque of 80's electric buses. Thought they could never pull much at all.
True man, riding some of the first electric golf carts you felt like you could pull a tractor with it albeit a little slowly.
The Model S Plaid is an insane car. I can tell you first hand. It throws you back in the seat and the tires don’t even squeal.
Squealing tires are stupid
The Roadster is better
I was routing for the Plaid but jeezus that Shelby sounds so badass.
The days of the muscle car are over when a dude in IT can just run down to the store and grab a car that can destroy a Shelby.
You just need a muscle electric. Transmissions will never beat instant torque.
and the day of japanese super cars are over too
Imagine if memories of your dad were all of him whirring around in a jetson's car that looked like an 03 corolla rather than roaring around in some muscle.
Takes all the fun out of racing. Makes it into a Who cares? Electric cars are just boring.
Nah, nothing beats the sounds of v8 mate, but it will be less and less accessible and one day, you would pay a lot more for petrol engine v8 car. I mean a lot. Euro6 soon euro7 and so on will kill these cars. They will need exception from law and you would pay CO2 tax for running it :D
Most consistent drivers!! Just amazing how consistent each person was
Especially the plaid. It’s really hard to step on the gas and roll a joint at the same time while blowing off a zillion dollar race car.
@@georgemanthe65 lol. nice one.
My thoughts exactly.
I was thinking the same. They are very consistent. I think the cost of these 2 cars are about the same. Tesla beats it by half a second I would say this a fair race. Although the tesla wins I would choose the mustang it's not all about winning a race the love of modifying your car to your liking is what's more important to me. There's nothing you can do to a tesla. Your neighbors tela plaid looks just like your Tesla plaid. Being unique and different is what's most important.
@@richrosario5741 I see the possibility of homemade or custom electric cars being available down the road. You just have to look at robot fighting to get the idea what it will be like. No reason a similar sport can't develop for non-stock electric vehicles. Even Teslas are being hacked, but I think building a custom electric drag car could certainly be doable.
Can you imagine being at the Indy 500 and all the cars were Tesla's?!! You could watch the race, read a book and rock your baby to sleep all at the same time! LOL
this comment has me weak 🤣🤣😂
Lord, shoot me first.
A bone stock family sedan can consistently hit 9s and beat the fastest supercars on the planet. This truly is the golden age of automobiles.
and the Tesla had no charge left to drive home
@@joeviking61 ironically electric motors are most efficient when floored and regenerative braking can put up to half the expended charge back in the car after that 🤣
@@joeviking61 You know nothing, but you'll learn. Maybe.
Imagine you build special car to compete at one thing and you still loose to a family sedan...
* lose. But yes, lol.
The Model S Plaid is far from a family sedan, but I get your point. It's kinda like saying a C63 AMG is a family car.
You'll never beat the sound and visceral experience of driving an American muscle car with an electric. Ever
Not to mention its a less expensive option.
@@user-vp4cm6vo6d You'll never beat the sound and visceral experience of a horse and buggy with gas powered vehicle.
Mustang did good with only RWD against Plaid monster torque at launch + awd + computer traction.
In another way, you just said the mustang is outdated.
@@steviesevieria1868 In another way, you just said the futuristic plaid will lose to an outdated AMS GTR.
Let's not forget that the Plaid is a four door car that you could use to drive your mom and pop to the grocery store.
@@antalgyori6744 every car can do this
Steven Seviera. I can't imagine putting my mom or dad in the rear seat of a mustang or the GTR. That would be cruel.

This is the grown up version of which RC car is the fastest, battery or nitro.
Both cars are extremely fast so there’s absolutely no love loss.
Great job to both drivers and crew.
Agreed, I don't understand all the hate with these things. ICE/EV fighting is like people arguing over Xbox and Playstation. I'm just happy to get to experience these battles of engineering and machinery.
Mustang drank like 6 dinosaurs during the making of this video.

So did the Tesla since it's charged by a power grid energized by the burning of coal🙄😩 People do not utilize critical thinking any more.
@@silvershelbygt5006 it still uses way less carbon to charge itself
@@silvershelbygt5006 people do, but apparently you don't. Because coal isn't the only source of electricity and a large amount of electrical energy is generated using solar, hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, geothermal etc.

good job and thank you for showing both cars time, 9.38 Tesla and 9.86 Mustang
Just purchased a Plain. So excited.
There is no argument about the facts of what the results are. But the opinions on which is more enjoyable will forever be in debate. I for 1, find the heart pumping far more from the exhilaration of the GT500 exhaust and engine noise as it bursts off the line going down the track. It is a symphony of emotion that no EV will come close to duplicating. Imagine going to a concert to not only hear, but experience/absorb the essence of the music being played and all you do is sit and watch the performers going through the motions and have no sound? ;)
Noise seems a silly reason to poison your air.
So amazing those teslas click off 9 second runs no muss no fuss no burnout on street tires. They don't even look like they're going fast
Its like they ride on a rail.
If only they looked and sounded good...
@@somebloke13 they look and sound great, unlike ICE cars. ICE cars look stupid with their ugly grilles that look like a baleen whale, and make awful loud noises that you can't hear a conversation over. The soft whir of 10s of thousands of RPM electric motor is like music.
But regardless, you'll be driving an EV in a few years as ICE is thankfully being outlawed.
@@somebloke13 There's an app for that.
@@davidc2072 - best of luck with that. Internal combustion Engine cars will be a staple for a good long time.
No one is outlawing them. The E.V. market is not strong enough yet, but you can try to live in your little fantasy world as long as you wish.
Best estimates in the automotive industry say that EV vehicles will be 7% of the total market by 2030. It is going to be a good long time there junior. The EV market may make it there one day, but most folks will still be in piston driven cars in 2040 and beyond.
Back in the day I used to road race my Kawasaki there. Does the FGPRA still exist?
not bad for a 4700 pound family sedan. If only they could come up with a light weight battery then we would see some really impressive numbers. Imagine if the Tesla weighed 3700 pounds!
Not bad? So, by definition....what's incredible for a stock sedan? Mid 7's....bro, are you high? They need to work on the range like "O.N.E." who took the model 3 over 750 miles on a single charge. Their range kee0s them out of more hands. Well, their expensive price tag. Actually compared to the GT500, Tesla isn't expensive lol.
It just happened. The new lithium-sulfur battery is now a real thing and weighs 1/4 of a standard ev battery.
@@autotransport5568 Li-P specific Energy ~450 Wh/Kg, LiFe specific Energy ~220 Wh/Kg, They are promising but in reality they are likely a decade away from commercial production.
Yes, the battery pack is the entire floor of the the Tesla and weighs 1,200 lbs according to the documentary I saw...
The Shelby is 4200 pounds.... Their not far off nothing special about the speed with that 4700 pound sedan, only thing that gives it so much advantage is the launch instant torque.
Both cars are insane, I would cry if I got the chance to be in either of those for a 1/4 drag race
I like at the end when the driver of the Tesla gets out the car and you hear the onlookers say, "Is that the guy right there?" Driver looks like a dad parking the family sedan at Publix.
soon you will see grandma coming out of those Tesla with sunglass and fanny pack LOL

A family sedan smokes a highly tuned muscle car. I love both brands but this thought sounds so ridiculous
lol that's very far from family sedan ... just because car has 4 doors, doesn't make it a family sedan. It's high performance super car.
I don't understand the comparison. So, if you added 2 doors to the Mustang that would change what?
@@SethiozProject Cmon, Im pretty sure you are not mentally challenged and you get me. :)
Tesla is a 4 door sedan with powerful engine/s/.
Sedans are heavier and their main purpose is not drag racing.
A family sedan with 1000HP
It's base price is 60,000 more.... Even as it was supposedly here and possibly being tuned the mustang was 30,000 less.
My son got a Tesla last year and put me on his car insurance. I drove it several times and I’ve got to say that after 50+ years of driving I’ve never driven a faster car😱
I'm 67 and my friend let me try his with him in the passenger seat. I've had some fast motorcycles in my life, but that car scared me. It was literally scary fast.
It also has 4 miles total range at that level of coal burn.
@@FFE-js2zp and a 1000hp track car is getting 2 or 3 mpg at WOT... we're talking about speed and track times here, so... you're point is??
@@nelsondln
I drive 35 mins to the track all the time, then drive 35 mins home. I leave the house with a quarter tank to save weight. These carbon spewing coal devouring Teslas waste an extraordinary amount of power. One coal plant powers 4M lightbulbs a year. One Tesla is 900,000W. So it takes a full coal plant to power every 266 Teslas.
@@nelsondln
My point is, they aren't viable cars at this power burn, essentially no range. They are also producing 3x as much CO2 as a fully loaded Mack Truck 18-wheeler, running at red line RPM, or 900,000W.
Tesla needs to make a high end digital recording of that Shelby GT500 taking off at the line.
Play it on some huge hidden speakers when it takes off.
that would be sick .....but im sure the epa would regulate that too

@@seanoleary1979 Um, Elon's recent purchase of land in Nevada shows enough lithium concentration there for him to build billions of batteries. American lithium sourcing = BRAVO, Elon.
Tesla being AWD while the mustang is RWD is what really sets this apart. Mustang can put all its power to the pavement when powering only 2 wheels
the plaid is 4800lbs it needs the extra traction, during launch 90% of power goes to the rear, with drag slicks it would still launch the same with 100% to the rear (software allows to control bias of power)
Great camera man 👍🏾
The Mustang left half his tyres at the starting grid ;-)
agreed but I don't think Tesla's tyres were made for racing either :)

Last month a Tesla Model S Plaid in Napierville, Quebec set the new record for the fastest quarter-mile time for the electric sedan at 8.83 seconds and 161mph.
The Model S had a stripped out interior for weight savings, as well as SV104 wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson drag radials at the rear and Michelin PS4 tires on the front.
Not content with the blistering fast time, the same Model S Plaid has set a new record this week. At the same track in Napierville the Model S crossed the line in just 8.77 seconds at 162.55mph (261.60km/h). Unlike last time, there is a video of the record run which you can see below.
As for what changed that allowed the car to go faster this time the owner, TMC user mulot30th, said there was an additional 60lb weight saving over the previous attempt due to someone else being behind the wheel on the run.
Additionally he said there a slight change to the suspension.
“Main change is suspension geometry change (slight) which reduce “tire drag” a little bit at least that is what I intended to do with that and have worked,” he said.
Interestingly, the top speed at the end of his quarter mile run of 162.55mph is inches away from the electronically limited top speed (when not in Track Mode) of 163mph.
As we first told you about earlier this week, Quebec-based Ingenext was able to hack their way past that limiter and reached a top speed of 216mph (347km/h).
As for this Model S Plaid, the owner says that while the car does not feel like it is slowing down when crossing the line, he feels there is not much room to improve beyond 8.77s with the current setup.
You can check out the record run below.

That mustang is a fricken beast! Those cordless drill cars are FAST and that Ford wasn't giving up much there!
And he had his wife and 2 kids in the Tesla. Went grocery shopping after leaving the drag strip. 😂😂 Meanwhile, 5 mechanics were paid to strip and clean the Mustangs engine, after which it was loaded onto an 18 wheeler, because it can't be driven at all.
Yeah yeah tesla fanboys mad when they see that tesla can't always win races. Shelby is only rear wheel drive , if it was all wheel drive it would probably smoke the tesla there.
@@virality9581 it didnt win. At least not consistently.
@@virality9581 The Mustang had a higher top speed at the end of the last run. Electric Cars become less efficient the higher the speed gets. Not to say that both cars are amazing on a performance standpoint. I just don't feel that I myself am quite ready for an electric performance car yet. Tesla's are not my particular flavor.
Tesla's build quality is garbage and it looks ugly. The only reason the tesla plaid has so much hype is because of it's speed. Without the speed no one would purchase that crap.
@@FearUniverse please dont confuse personal opinion with design choices. from you comment i can only surmise you dont like the minimalistic design (wich is fine) but also extends that to its quality (wich is not fine). tis a common mistake but one not based on recent personal experience i am sure. i seriously doubt you have even sat in a plaid or a raven for any extended period of time to make such conclusions.
Great video! 🏁 Edit: OMG, is that Shmee150 getting out the the Tesla at the very end? LOL!
Haha yeah, I have to admit: I was surprised as well! 😅👍
Hearing the Plaid run the track solo is like hearing an aircraft carrier catapult without the airplane.
I love technology. I had a 2001 Mustang that was pretty heavily built and if I had gotten bean by that Tesla I wouldn't even be mad. The fact that they could engineer a machine that can do what that thing does... I'd have lost then demanded a ride like an excited little kid!
The GT guy put a lot of time and money into that car to get it to 1000 HP, and he still can't beat the factory, unmodified Testa. And the Tesla is heavier.
But at the end of the day the Shelby can do run after run after run, the Tesla is shot after 3 to 4 runs.
@@mintsauce101 Which has absolutely Nothing to do with it. Also, the Tesla Plaid guy, on his channel, said that his car was below 50% charge. Either way, a luxury family car, designed to take you to work and get groceries, and take kids to soccer practice, can beat ALL super cars, and some by a huge margin. I guess the point is that it’s NOT a race car - but it beats race cars (and it’s hilarious that it beats modified race cars). Electric cars are just way, way more efficient and faster than any ICE. The physics of full torque at zero RPM, and being basically constant throughout the entire power band, is where it’s at for auto racing.

Driven and been in many fast/quick cars. The ICE is over. The new age is here. Hands down crazy acceleration super fast. Not even close. They're just getting started. The way I see it 1500 hp is just a few years away.
GT 500 is my dream car , everything about it I love and there's no car on the planet that has that V8 Mustang sound . These drag races mean very little to me , I would take that GT 500 over any other in heartbeat . I see super expensive cars on the road but that GT 500 is something incredibly special. Nothing looks that awesome and sounds that amazing.
Sounds like you care. Otherwise why would you write this.
Thank you Sir. Even tho I love Teslas, my heart still beats for Mustangs, especially GT500s 🔥

100 years of development vs 10 years... amazing !
Electric cars have been around almost as long as ICE cars. They've just hidden it from You
Comes down to personal taste I think.. Tesla may be faster but that wears off and you get used to it but the sound of the V8 never grows old .. plus that mustang character is something else..
What is this a race or a fashion show
It is amazing to see how QUICKLY people have gone from loving the sound of the raw power of drag racing to calling it noise, simply because the latest thing that's faster is silent. I prefer to think for myself. Engines will ALWAYS sound good to me, even when they're no longer the fastest or the best. I will always love them, just as I always have. And yes, I DO think the new technology is absolutely remarkable and stunningly awesome too! I actually like BOTH.
It's not really faster... the 'Stang is 2 wheel drive while the Tesla is all wheel drive.
The only reason they don't like the "loud" muscle cars is because they're jealous of the people who have them. Don't worry tho, because those same Tesla fans, of today, will find a reason to dislike them in the future, because the same guys who owns the "loud" Mustangs (and other cars alike) will be owning the EV cars and jetting pass today's Tesla "fans" in the future
I would take a nice fast fossil car over Tesla any day, even if that big I pad is faster
I agree but when mustang owners get angry at teslas and call them soulless.. it almost makes me want to tell them that at this day and age there burly v8s are just gimmicks now.
The Plaid is just amazing!!! How much do they cost?
That Mustang is dirty, was pulling hard at the end. Sick car. The fast golf cart is cool too.
Haters are running out of excuses , the mustang has 1200hp/1000whp, weights less has drag radials and it was hooking really good , tesla magic!! , the 1000hp was at the wheels not the engine just mind blowing.Electric dominance it can't be stoped, only thing holding it back is battery techbology for track dominance.
Instant torque in the tesla.
But remember the longer the distance the slower Tesla become 😂.
@@frederickgriffith9880 Not the plaid, carbon wraped rotors hold 1000hp from 80-200 mph difrent tech than the old model s performance.
@@frederickgriffith9880 not the plaid that's the old tesla
And don't forget they were icing the crap out of the Mustang--literally using big bags of ice trying to keep it cool.
This man has captured every significant race for the last 5 years 😂
🤣
Can’t deny the performance of the up and coming electric age but there’s just something about the growl of the GT500. Can’t convince me that Tesla is a panty dropper over that GT500 😂🤣
I wanted to enjoy this video.... but then I saw Shmee
@@jdbarton9886definitely agree but tesla is a silent killer like a fart
@@cd947 lol!
Anybody know why the Mustangs rpm/shift sounds strange at time 1:12? Almost sounds like a tcc lockup.
the plaid may be fast but how fast is it compare to the MTT 420 RR
I love muscle cars, especially ones from the 1960's. But I don't dog out anything with electric motors. What most don't realize is that a 5,000HP locomotive doesn't use that big diesel for anything other than to power 6 electric motors.
Wow, I didn't know that. Thx.
A 1,000 hp internal combustion car is always going need a lot of tender loving care. So many parts needed to produce the power means a ton of maintenance.
And don’t forget the weather too….and the mullah $$$$
How would you know, sounds you ain't even remotely close to one even in the builds.
I think that's actually part of the fun a lot for gear heads though. They love working on stuff.
And always finding new parts that add power and cost more money! LOL! Gotta love it though eh!
@@xorbitman Thats why I switched my Mustang 5.0 to a Pro Stock DRCE 500 cubic incher...plus all others.
Doesn't all wheel drive vs rear wheel drive account for something? I'm not sure how traction plays a part but it seems like it would matter.
Who cares, one had a fortune spent on it to achieve maximum performance, and it got beaten by a family saloon straight out of the showroom. RIP ICE cars.
@@rogerfroud300 Exactly. The $250,000 Lucid Sapphire, which is a sedan, just gapped the Bugatti Chiron PurSport in the 1/4 mile on Hagerty. Absolutely astonishing.
That's like Vanilla World of Warcraft Feral Druid vs. Rogue. You worked your butt off to get *ALMOST* the same result as the rogue who just stepped on a button :D
That is the result of the Tesla having 4 wheel drive, providing extra traction, combined with the inherent higher torque of electric motor and the absence of transmission.
The power rating of the Tesla Plaid Model S is 1021 HP.
THANK YOU. Finally someone who knows what they're talking about not one of this mouthfrothing Tesla fanbois. All this drag is is a super expense (but nice) 1000hp AWD car VS a modded RWD 1000hp car. Not that surprising that the Tesla wins.
@LU X you're not
@LU X Laaaame
@@hrthrhs you mean this 4 door sedan off the shelf from a company thats only been making cars for about 10 years beat this muscle car that has been highly modified with only speed in mind and likely cost more considering all the improvements that went into it? i grew up around classic muscle cars, i spent many summers wrenching on them with my dad. i love em, but this is embarrassing really. stop making excuses, the strip is always about who is faster, period. you dont punch above your weight class, this shelby clearly thought it was within his.
@@mustardtiger9265 As you're a car guy I can probably have a decent chat with you about this. My point isn't really about the Mustang or it's driver at all, it's about everyone here getting excited that a 1000hp WAWD car spanked a 1000hp RWD.
And performance car company can make a high HP family drag car, they just don't want to. Tesla do it because that's all they can make to impress as EV tech still has a long way to go, so they were smart and wanted to blind people that their cars have amazing performance, when they don't really - they just rely on massive power and AWD. If you look at the recent Plaid nurburgring time you'll see what I mean - it's AWD and has a power to weight ratio at the wheels 2.5 times that of other sports sedans like the M5 Comp and Giulia QV yet the Tesla still can't beat them. This shows how sh*t their performance really is, and how much Tesla rely on non-car normies getting all excited because they're quick in a straight line.
What's funny is people always dumped sh*t on American muscle cars for apparently only being good in straight line. Yet here we have Tesla which performance wise really are only good in a straight line. And as you're an American muscle car fan you should see the irony in that.
As Gordon Murray (Mclaren F1 designer) said in his anaylis of the Veyron "The most pointless exercise on the planet has got to be this four-wheel-drive thousand-horsepower Bugatti. I think it's incredibly childish this thing people have about just one element - top speed or standing kilometre or 0-60." Yet that is exactly what the latest Tesla is.
This is like transistors replacing tubes. Electric vehicle are the way to go not for speed but for a less complicated machine and lower cost. Someday electric cars will re-sell with over 300,000 mile on them for over 10,000 dollars. People will buy them. It won't be uncommon to see over 400,000 miles on used electric cars.
That mustang had amazing traction considering it is half the weight of the Tesla
500lbs less at 4200
Traction is not related to weight, but Coefficient of Friction, or "mu."
How does the Tesla perform at top end speeds like a Taladega Speedway type race?
I believe it is governed to top speed of 163 mph.. So that is as fast as the stock one goes...
They are just getting started with those electric cars.
It's going to get ridiculous in a few years.
The Rimac Nevera is in the low 8's, and you are right it's only gonna get crazier.
wrong ... are you aware that elecric cars were made BEFORE internal combustion engine cars? First electric car was made in 1832. Yes that's 1832, not 19. Electric cars are just not viable and that's why internal combustion engines took over. Petrols is cheaper, quicker to refuel than to recharge electric and you can drive over 10x more distance.
please educate yourselves people ... only reason why Tesla is getting popular, is because our computers have come further and it's now possible to optimize the electric cars to be bit more viable, but electric cars will NEVER be the future with our current battery systems. We simply don't have the tech to have a battery that would charge fast (1-5 minutes) and last 2-3 hours of drive time. This is what you'd need in order to have electric cars more viable than fossil fuel based cars. Electric cars are simply stuck behind batteries.
@@SethiozProject we known, but with cheap oil all that electric development stop it in that age, also computers were needed to really understand quantum mechanics to improve material selection for battery capacity or the new fuel cells.
@@SethiozProject improved battery tech is what's making electric cars more viable, being able to charge them faster, have more energy density etc. Electric motors have been way more efficient even before we had computers.
@@RoycoNL EVs are not the king of energy density. Gas still has much more energy density than batteries. Evs are the king of torque.
A note to improve the Shelby GT500 performance: remove the ICE engine and increase the size of the starter motor.
Haha..good one.
I see what you did there. lol
I'm a n00b, someone please 'splain this joke
Ah, ICE = Internal Combustion Engine, and the starter motor is electric. haha.
It will still loose. Instant torque can't be beat in a straight line 0-60 mph with any gas engine. Now in the streets and cornering?? That's the race I want to see.
The Tesla takes the fun out of it. It's like grilling a steak with indoor electric versus outdoor barbecue grill. Sure, you can do it, but it's just not the same.
You mean Tesla took the fun out of it for ICE performance vehicles - creating tons of noise and air pollution just to go...... slower.
It's no fun hearing that noise coming from the GT. Best to win in silence. Losing loudly is lousy.
The smoke and noise is a sign of inefficiency of ICE. Too much wasted energy.
Yeah, I love standing out in the heat over a hot grill sniffing Coleman fumes.
No, it’s not the same. It is far superior. No having to melt the tires. Revving and screaming engine pumping out pollutants. Look, I love the Shelby, very cool! But old out dated technology. Let’s embrace progress and improvement. Why fight it. It IS the future. It’s not a question of if, but when. And in a few years, we will have fusion power. What should we do then, bury it for the sake of dinosaur energy. Fusion will be a total game changer.
Waiting for the day when a Tesla competes at the 24 hours of Daytona.
A quick change battery stop every 20-25 laps? They would get spanked....hard.
@@txryder79 Just gotta hitch a trailer to it full of batteries and we good.
They are planning a solar car wrap. Wouldn't it be something
@@Vdawg101 The electric car is still in it's fledgling stage of development, so ya...We are going to see a lot of trial and error for the next couple of decades.
Right now though, the hybrid has the lowest carbon footprint of all 3 car types.
@@txryder79 no it does not, electric vehicles have 0 carbon emissions and thus no carbon footprint at all, also electric vehicles have been past the fledgling stage for years now, we're in the mass production and infrastructure stage now, keep up slow poke, trial and error is over as far as the vehicles themselves are concerned, now extra stuff like full self driving is definitely gonna be in trial and error for a few more years but definitely not decades as it's already at level 3 autonomy for tesla anyway, but that does not specifically have to do with evs as similar systems could be made in gas powered cars
That is impressive, wow, I knew they had massive torque but that is damn near hilarious.
Did I mention no burnout required, he just rolls up and then stomps on it.
@@ForeIndication The mustang was nice enough to give him the time to get into full Cheetah mode. It would have been much closer if the Mustang staged first. I don't think the Tesla made it into Cheetah/launch mode on the last pass.
Torque but not top end. A regular Toyota ISF easily smokes a Tesla Model S.

I feel like the Tesla doesn’t take much punishment from those races like the mustang
I’m sure this is a very true statement
Every time it red lines then next time it will produce less power
The engine gets "tired"
Actually EVs do every time you floor them.
@@mikatamminen2786 I meant less punishment
Other way around. Battery wear is a real thing. When they turn up the amperage to go like this it shortens the life of the battery significantly
Nice Mustang....for people talking about the charge times for the Tesla they are:
6hrs at my home 240v charger
About 28min at a super charger station rated 240kw
40min for a 150kw station
It gets an actual 390miles if not racing around and about 375 if constantly flooring it
I'm actually surprised it was that close!
Nice! And the Tesla was running slow
9.3 slow ??????
It all depends on the SOC. This is very much in the middle of the average Plaid. I believe the quickest unmodified Plaid is in the 9.20’s. The only ones quicker have had mods such as stickier tires and weight reduction.
@@danmyers9372 Quickest is 9.08 seconds with a trap speed of 154.10 mph. Semi gutted interior and 120 lb driver.
@@johnmolloy4878 so basically what he just said 😂
See it's people like you that have to support the Tesla because you don't want people like us to keep driving gasoline-powered cars
That Tesla almost makes it look like that Shelby just makes a lot of noise about nothing, LOL. The end of the ICE age is upon us.
..yet another person who doesn't realize that electric cars have been around way longer than internal combustion engine cars. First electric car was made in 1832 .. they're just not viable enough for every day driving, this is why nobody wasted money in developing them.
@@SethiozProject well, that’s not exactly true. I’m quite aware of the history of them. They are now at the point that they can be far superior to ICE vehicles in many ways, and are now entering the realm of affordability for the many. Eventually they will likely be cheaper than ICE vehicles due to simplicity and number of parts, and I don’t think that is very far off. This could have happened long before this time, but Tesla is now forcing the issue.
@@SethiozProject Gunpowder based weapons were first invented circa the 10th century. They were developed in Europe by 1400 at the latest. But bows still dominated the battlefield for another 100 years. Imagine someone in the year 1450 saying "guns are just not viable enough for every day combat, this is why nobody is going to waste money in developing them".
Lithium ion batteries were invented in 1912. Lead acid and then nicad batteries dominated the market for another 100 years. Imagine someone in the year 1950 saying "lithium ion batteries are just not viable enough for every day power storage, this is why nobody is going to waste money in developing them".
Solar panels were first used by the 1840's at the latest, but other forms of power generation dominated the market for another 160 years. Imagine someone in the year 2000 saying "solar panels are just not viable enough for electricity generation, this is why nobody is going to waste money in developing them".
The first heat engine that we know of, in the form of a boiler powered, steam-jet-driven rotor, was built by Hero of Alexandria in ~50 AD. Electric motors have NOT been around longer than heat engines.
@@SethiozProject get some bitches bro got damn
@@allmhuran All true, however technology now moves much faster than back then. Manufacturing is much more automated which means that new technology to market is happening much faster. Plus we also have governments mandating the end of the ICE age.
Now I want to see the same race from a roll
Perfect example for
"your action should speak"
That Tesla weighs 4,766 lbs - about as much as an old 60's cadillac!!* But with 1020 hp, coupled with the wide rpm range for high torque, this inertia seems quite effectively overcome.
Shelby GT500 4100 lbs, not much lighter and it's smaller, way less cargo / human space lol.
Pretty impressive, considering the Shelby is only rear wheel drive.
And very consistent, but when more power more useless is the front wheel drive, because more weight transfer to rear, but Model S has long wheelbase so it has lower weight transfer. Too reduce front height (cheetah stance) for add weight to front at launch.
llavero5 ...No question the Plaid is an amazing car.👍🏼
@@jakeclayson7647 Like any other electric 1000hp car.

It isn't tires, drive, etc. It's the brains in the concept.
They're not born. There is a reason Musk replaced Fiskar when he took over Tesla.
Does GM, Ford, Ferrari, Honda, etc., etc.(I'm tired), send rockets to space then bring them back and land them?
Elon Musk does. He sold his first computer program when he was twelve. And PayPal. You get the point.
