      At full boost, it could no doubt hit the 7s. (He’s already run 8.0s earlier this year with his less powerful turbos; he’s just working up to it and getting data along the way)

    • @TeslaPlaidChannel
      @TeslaPlaidChannel  Před 7 měsíci +5

      That would be a really close one, although the Firebird could probably dial-in enough boost to dip into the 7s, which I’m not sure that COPO is built to match…

    Super impressive on that firebird! Also... one of my favorite GM models woth those huge nostrils. The Tesla will get 9.2 in the 1/4 and be daily driven and get well over 100k miles on it. Something to be said there too.

      We're looking forward to seeing our first Lucid at the dragstip. Haven't even seen one on the road yet (only saw one in a showroom). They seem to be coming out of their factory fairly slow...

    • @v8ramair145
      @v8ramair145 Před 7 měsíci +2

      Interestingly, the past few months, there's now some Lucids over here in the SF Bay area. Of course, nowhere near other brands (especially where almost every other car is a Tesla here), but several months ago, I maybe saw 1 Lucid, and now see a different one nearly every day. But that's limited to only 1 observed per drive, of course.

      @TeslaPlaidChannel I believe so. I live pretty close to their headquarters and used to see quite a few test cars driving through the area. But they were definitely marked as test cars. The new ones I'm seeing over the past few months appear to be normal people/families driving. It'll be interesting to see if they keep expanding.

    These would have been good ones for you to purposely red light on! Get bit o a closer finish. I think you did purposely red light on some cars in some other videos. I could be wrong though.

    • @TeslaPlaidChannel
      @TeslaPlaidChannel  Před 7 měsíci +1

      👍Yes, we did intentionally red light last week and got a close finish against an 8.60 car (‘69 582ci Camaro), but that guy was racing a full Sportsman tree that allowed me to leave on the first yellow.
      With a Pro Tree there’s nothing shown until all 3 yellows and that’s already when we both immediately go. If I try to guess before those yellows, it could easily be 3 seconds early, and then I won’t even get a time slip. In fact, ANY early leave on a Pro Tree (before the yellows appear) results in no numbers on the scoreboard and no timeslip. Bottom line is that a Pro Tree makes an intentional “red light by a half second” essentially impossible.
