Now you've done it, I heard an f-bomb in there. :p

Youtube will now demonitize your videos. The gravy train has ended.

On the street it would be a handful to try to keep up from a dig. Especially with the tires, suspension, and tuning available back in the day. Likely very impossible for anything newer than 2000s tech could stand a chance.

Tesla is so overrated it’s an EMPTY SUIT. What a joke and I had to hold back my real feelings not to piss off the Tesla fans.

They remind me of 80s GM mid-sized cars.

How long ago did you have that thing?
I always think back to when I had mine, and there weren’t any foxbodies on the street that could trap 160… so from a roll, we’d all get gapped. Plenty of us in the 8s and 9s… but we weren’t trapping that high.

The scary part is any fool with $130 G’s can buy one of these and think he’s Mario Andretti. CC said the car was scary and that’s coming from someone who’s driven home fairly high hp cars. What happens when it’s some clown who doesn’t know jack about driving and only bought it to be cool starts showing off? Probably another Mustang video😳

They can make them 7 second cars for all I care, they’ve got no soul. Like a battery powered watch vs. a self winding mechanical. I’ll never own one.

I have not seen a plaid trap 160, I have seen 150.
I had my 87 from '94-'13, 19 years. Just wasn't driving it much and bought a '13 mustang so thought it was time to move on

They do trap 150s… but they can do that on the street too, which is why I was thinking you’d need at least a 160trap to get away from one on the street. At the track, any well tuned 8 second car will beat it, but the street is a different animal.

My stock Red Eye Challenger (with MT Street Rs) got beat on the track by a Plaid. I jumped out ahead by 2 cars off the line on the way to a 10.5 ET. He passed me by at about 60ft and kept going to a 9.30 ET. He was way out ahead by the finish line. Those Plaids are FAST!!!

Maybe I could give it a little more respect if the name didn’t suck so bad. Plaid? Really? Who’s the marketing genius that came up with that name?

It’s a reference to a pretty (really) popular movie, written and directed by Mel Brooks called “Spaceballs”. It was a spoof on Star Wars and is a cult classic… full of great stuff.
Star Wars was using warp speed… Spaceballs took that idea and ran with it. Previous versions of the Model S had a mode called Ludicrous, and there is only 1 thing faster than Ludicrous… Plaid.
