Got to love that old school Camaro. No blowers of any kind, no fancy fuels, no nitrous, no fancy electronics or computer controlled anything and still runs mid 10's with a small block.
@@TeslaPlaidChannel It's funny the way that you back peddled against the Camaro, it looked like he suddenly got a surge of power, and was keeping right up with you! I wondered for a second if he had hit a nitrous button and found an extra 400HP, but it was just your created illusion of added speed.
They used to have a “beat the heat” here in california..but they decided to start closing down drag strips because houses are more important. Now, between LA and Oregon there’s only three (Bakersfield, Sacramento, Redding) then the major one in Sonoma…and Sacramento is CRIPPLED by curfew and noise restrictions. Kind of hard to “keep it on the track” when there isn’t one or it’s HOURS away.
Yep, I lived in CA for close to 40 years, and they are definitely determined to legislate all gearheads into oblivion.

I know you are going on vacation (where does one go from paradise for vacation, you a sking enthusiast?). Thanks for the weekly entertainment and you may want to practice on a reaction time tree to continue to beat Nick on those starts...lol!
Thanks! Regarding the brakes: I’d say for drag racing, even with 4-5 full 1/4mile runs per hour, the factory brakes seem fine. (The only way the car sees more passes is at a private track rental.) I wouldn’t do 10 in an hour though. And road racing is a different animal that’s usually harder on the brakes. That’s not my sport so I’ll let others add their experience about that.

The vast majority of the Florida drag racing scene is cool and intelligent. It’s a rare thing to get a hostile vibe from another driver, but I do remember it happening once about two months ago.

Most impressive thing is the sheer number of passes. I lot of tuner ICE cars are just flat out broken, by now. (Transmission, transaxle, engine). Not to mention that he keeps hauling it down from 150 - imagine the wear on the brakes.
I expect that it will absolutely hit 200MPH with that tire installed. I don’t expect THAT update to affect acceleration to 160MPH though. Instead, I expect a *different* software update to boost acceleration later on. Tesla may charge for it as they have on the Model 3 performance boost.
Probably in 5 years or so for a model S. Battery is around 1000 lb. Imagine as that improves to 500 lbs! Maybe 10 years? We'll wait. It's going to be crazy. Maybe Tesla will make a four motor plaid by then.
Yep, it’s about 30 MPH at the starting line, but the car can hit 30MPH in less than 50 feet. So think of it as adding 50 feet at the finish line, which only would add one to two MPH…
Supra is the best car ever made. $45k on the stock car. $13k on a build transmission $35k on the engine (including turbo) $10k on wheels and differential. $75.15 on interior and safety, because who needs a roll cage and proper seats when you have that much power. Endless running and repairs… priceless. (This post is satirical, no trying to hurt anybody’s feelings.

@@alexnutcasio936 what’s real quick to you? Comparable to this Tesla there is no performance per dollar comparable car.. that’s just the sad truth. Street car is a very loosely used term these days but there are a lot of cars that run 10’s 9’s 8’s bla bla bla that are Driven daily. My friend drives his stock block Miata everyday that runs 10’s .. and has less than 8k in the whole car including purchasing it.. it’s not what you buy it’s how you build it my friend. My 73 carina runs 10.60’s with a 22r motor out of a Toyota pickup and passes emissions and runs on pump gas.. but its a rare car and hard to get parts for these days so I don’t drive it do to fear of a fender bender .. but it was driven to and from the track when we used to race it. A stock gtr runs 11’s and cost less than the Tesla to buy but to make a gtr faster than a plaid would cost $$$. My comment was about Supra’s and only them. If you see a Supra with a big front mount and big tires it can be making anywhere from like 600 to 2000hp you just can’t judge one for the look alone.. same goes for most imports really.. all the Supra’s I’ve run into are making over 1000hp. It’s a legendary car with a legendary engine for a reason.
@@theclan4adventures Those are all cool cars, but seriously doubt anyone is daily driving most of them to go to work or the grocery store. Yeah, try putting groceries in the trunk of that Supra or Miata, LOL, for that matter or taking out the family of five to dinner in that Supra, MX5 or Cortina. Plaid is the single most paradigm-changing daily driver in our lifetime. What other daily driver does low 9s (which IS quick) and costs so little and does so much?? Even the 8.6 Nevera is nearly $3 million and only carries two and has no trunk. Elon has single-handedly changed the hypercar and performance market.
@@fortcrafterbossbehold9027 Then prepare to lose more often against EVs on the track and in traffic ;-) Also while you're repairing/maintaining your ICE-car and working more to pay for that and gas, EV-owners just have fun driving and charging for cheap... While I'm with you that iconic gas cars are nice to collect and occasionally drive on a sunny sunday, BEVs are the way to go as a daily driver.
@@Makatea Well that's the thing... First of all, many EV drivers just like to drive. I like to do many things with my vehicle, and I actually have found more enjoyment working on it than driving it (at least on public streets where there are rules to follow) in actuality, because that is just all but how I feel about being with my ICE vehicle. Plus my first car which I bought in July of this year and still have now, an 01 Chevy Trailblazer with 4.2 Inline 6, costed only $2800. I spent about $600 making repairs to it so far. The only BEV which even came close to that, a 2016 Nissan Leaf with a dangerously degraded battery for $5 grand, was in a far more volatile state and had range that was virtually unusable at only 38 miles. A replacement battery was about $4.5 grand ($1500 x 3)...
That's not a cop car... I have a 2010 Crown Vic with the ghost images of the police decals AND news footage of my car in service at a shooting. My car is the real deal proven in news footage and the auction the car was sold at when it was taken out of service. Some 79 Camaro with police decals is NOT a cop car. My car put in almost 8 years of public service with a city police department. That's what a real cop car is.
Well…obviously. I don’t believe anyone believes this was used for patrol duty. But it does appear to be owned by the department, just like the seized cars shown at the beginning of the video…
It's discouraging you never play with tire pressure and stick to OEM tire pressure for street driving. I bet 30psi increases your 60ft times long as u mark the rim and tire with a tire crayon to see if you get rim slip. Experiment more or this is getting boring to watch u do the same race over and over and over same tire pressure same everything gets really boring....
I’ve tested 3 tires, and at pressures that are within 5 psi of the recommended spec. The Nittos showed me that the limiting factor is the torque map that the car will lay down. They dead hook every time. Without any slippage or dial-back of power, what would else lower psi yield? Higher rolling resistance at the top end.

Why have you guys started doing roll races rather than from the line??
Safety. And fairness. Rear wheel drive cars can be scary and dangerous from a dig. And slow….so rolling gives them a chance.

While I'm with you that iconic gas cars are nice to collect and occasionally drive on a sunny sunday, BEVs are the way to go as a daily driver.
@@Makatea Well that's the thing... First of all, many EV drivers just like to drive. I like to do many things with my vehicle, and I actually have found more enjoyment working on it than driving it (at least on public streets where there are rules to follow) in actuality, because that is just all but how I feel about being with my ICE vehicle. Plus my first car which I bought in July of this year and still have now, an 01 Chevy Trailblazer with 4.2 Inline 6, costed only $2800. I spent about $600 making repairs to it so far. The only BEV which even came close to that, a 2016 Nissan Leaf with a dangerously degraded battery for $5 grand, was in a far more volatile state and had range that was virtually unusable at only 38 miles. A replacement battery was about $4.5 grand ($1500 x 3)...
I am very disappointed with the engineering of the plaid drivetrain and I am a Tesla enthusiast too
Why?
WTF?
That's not a cop car... I have a 2010 Crown Vic with the ghost images of the police decals AND news footage of my car in service at a shooting. My car is the real deal proven in news footage and the auction the car was sold at when it was taken out of service. Some 79 Camaro with police decals is NOT a cop car. My car put in almost 8 years of public service with a city police department. That's what a real cop car is.
Well…obviously. I don’t believe anyone believes this was used for patrol duty. But it does appear to be owned by the department, just like the seized cars shown at the beginning of the video…
Boring; can you go 8 sec??
It's discouraging you never play with tire pressure and stick to OEM tire pressure for street driving. I bet 30psi increases your 60ft times long as u mark the rim and tire with a tire crayon to see if you get rim slip. Experiment more or this is getting boring to watch u do the same race over and over and over same tire pressure same everything gets really boring....
I’ve tested 3 tires, and at pressures that are within 5 psi of the recommended spec. The Nittos showed me that the limiting factor is the torque map that the car will lay down. They dead hook every time. Without any slippage or dial-back of power, what would else lower psi yield? Higher rolling resistance at the top end.
@@TeslaPlaidChannel ok you never talked about it during the videos.
