It's really unbelievable just how fast all the new stuff is.
But the real kicker is these Teslas. They really are very impressive performers.
Now I'm not an electric guy. Don't get the wrong idea.
Never will be. No interest whatsoever.
I'm old school to the very core.
I like big cubes, high compression, multiple carbs, solid lifters and 4-speeds.
That's my thing. I'm a dinosaur and I know it.
But I have to say that I have watched these Teslas spank some pretty impressive high performance iron- mercilessly.
How'd you like to be the guy who just dropped a bunch of coin on a new Demon?
Flawless Black, badass with 800HP- dude is thinking he's the man- and there's nothing on the street that's gonna touch that thing.
He knows this because he's been around a long time playing with fast cars- and it's way faster than the old 427 Camaro he still has back home in the garage that he used to rule the streets in.
And that car was freaking fast back then- running in the mid-low 11's.
So the Dude lines up against some kid driving his Dad's Tesla.
He's not too worried at all.
Dude's gonna let it all hang out, as usual- and just let that Supercharged Hemi eat.
The tree comes down, and the Dude cuts a perfect light- and gets a good clean launch on the drag radials.
He's leaving hard on a solid mid-low 10 second run.
But to his amazement- that Tesla instantly grabs 2 car lengths on the Dodge and keeps pulling away.
And all the Dude can see is a good view of Tesla tailights- all the way to the return road.
That, my friends, is seriously heart-breaking.
