    Nice, great to see how you and Greg put your heads together on the COPO. Fun to see Greg so excitied about that fantastic run. The camera views were awesome. I know you were spining but that thing took off like a shot. Lot different than the backfire run later in the vid.

    It must be satisfying for Greg to get his COPO Camaro dialed in and doing so well. It would have been even nicer if the track prep was good and allowed you to hang in a bit longer. Of course this scene of the COPO Camaro running off into the distance is what most everyone else gets when racing against you.

    I know it’s not your usual fare, but I’d love to see a long term comparison between the Plaid and the Raven. I also have a 2019 MSP often wonder if I should make the switch, but if you’re still dailying one then I have to ask why.

    • @TeslaPlaidChannel
      @TeslaPlaidChannel  Před 4 měsíci +1

      We strongly prefer STALKS to buttons on a yoke. Swapping for a 'wheel' doesn't fix that. After driving with stalks for 40 years, it's just better for our daily driving. Plus our Raven has much more comfortable front seats. Others that have owned both agree. We don't need 1020HP in a daily driver. 690HP and 10.5sec is plenty. If we didn't drag race, we wouldn't need our Plaid. But with almost 900 timeslips on this one (and ~76 on two others that we sold), we are getting good use out of it.

    • @TeslaPlaidChannel
      @TeslaPlaidChannel  Před 4 měsíci +1

      BTW, good idea on the long term update. Those usually take a lot more work, with a “script” and much more editing. We’d like to do it sometime this year. Highlights: 56K trouble free miles on the 2019 Raven, even after 1000+ dragstrip runs. Virtually no maintenance, still in the original brake pads! The Plaid has 19K miles and almost 900 runs, also with no issues, but one set of brake pads needed around 470th run. (May need another set soon.)

    • @thedownwardmachine
      @thedownwardmachine Před 4 měsíci

      @@TeslaPlaidChannel As long as we are comparing notes, I bought my 2019 MSP in April 2022 used with 66k mi from Carvana. A headlamp showed a flicker after 30 minutes on, and both had fading DRLs, so they both got replaced under Carvana warranty. Later, after warranty, the driver's handle failed. I have 87k now, and no more issues other than wheels.
      Oh, the wheels! Mine came with 21" staggered Pilot Super Sports. In the first 6k mi, driving normally, I tore a sidewall and, separately, cracked a rim. I switched to 19" TSportline TSTs with Pilot Sport All Season 4s and never looked back.
      I've always been a wagon/hatchback guy and I love the utility of the S. I miss the flickability of my last car (Mazdaspeed3), but what the S lacks in playfulness it makes up for in stability.
      The worst part about my Model S? Buying it before the price cuts!

      Well… drag racers know that a red light is not a ‘technicality’. It’s actually the first rule: Wait for green. (We also had 5 previous races between these two cars; how’d those go?) BTW, Greg absolutely 100% won the race vs our old 2019 Tesla (not a Plaid) shown at the end of this video. We both Red Lit, and “first is worst”. I lost that one, on my red light, yet likely would have lost anyway by bringing a knife to a gunfight 😃

      Welcome to the Channel, where we win the vast majority of races versus trailered cars, including FIVE PREVIOUS RACES versus this same COPO, by getting to the finish line first all 5 times 👍. Even drag racing noobs like yourself are welcome here, as we seek to replace ignorance with drag racing knowledge. And since you don’t yet understand how the tree works, we will explain it for you. You see, a Red Light (leaving before green) is a bad thing and it causes the driver to immediately lose the race. So, as everyone else saw, we WON this race also, due to the COPO’S Red Light. You are welcome 😉

      Which do you believe is more expensive? The Tesla or the COPO? (Hint: the latter). On TOP of that, the COPO can’t get to the track without a trailer and a truck to pull that trailer. That adds up to much much more than the Tesla…
