Incredible that 8 of the 12 cars did the quarter in under 12 seconds, with 4 of them under 11. What a time to be alive.

Also, holy crap, the way the Tesla just jumps off the line.

Honestly, one of the highlights of every year is World’s Greatest Drag Race.

Honestly surprised how the 911 Turbo S hung with the P100D.

Incredible that it can hold them off for the full 1/4 mile. Elon is a genius for making that car perform like this.

Gets greens and gearheads going gonzo for the same goldarned gas guzzler car.

The 488 was hanging in there too. That looked like a 2.7 second 0-60 time

I must be an outlier then, because I’d put the Tesla down at the bottom of all these cars, with the Vette and the Lexus. That said, I do give Tesla and Musk props for the technological achievement and the performance — it really is something that most people 20 years ago simply would have rejected out of hand as being preposterous.

Even if you limited the field to cars with four or more doors, there are still a number of cars I’d want before getting to Tesla.

No, I’m with you, I’d rather have pretty much all these cars before the Telsa. It’s just an incredible machine. But I’m not giving up my E90 M3 to get one! =)

But there are plenty of car guys that are about pure straight line performance that have become Tesla true believers.
