Chewy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Saw this yesterday... Spanked the Viper but a half mile would have been another story altogether. Hard to beat MAX TORQUE from 1 RPM on up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwag one Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Ha! He just kept pulling on him, thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The massive advantage of electric... INFINITE AMOUNTS OF TORQUE! Chewy is right though... up top the Viper would've closed that gap, but at the 1/4 or even 1/2 mile mark its all over with the way that tesla gets up and goes.

Mark L Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I saw one of these Tesla's down in Newport Beach last Spring, by far the nicest electric car I've ever seen. I'd buy one if I had the means Edited January 30, 2013 by Mark L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerdan11 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 wow I know that they had lots of torque, but I had not idea it was enough to kill a viper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 12.3 is definitely cookin. But that viper was not being driven to its potential. I didn't see any times for the viper either. It should be a high 11 or low 12 car no problem. They are apparently hard as hell to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf for Life Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Nice I buy one in a blink of an eye if I had the $$$. The model S that is. Still have bad memories of the 1969 P@&, mopar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
