Smash Boy Report post Posted March 6, 2015 You gotta remember, it's peak torque at 1 RPM. Forget exactly what peak torque is for the Tesla but I think it's around 460-500 lb-ft? For comparison sake I recall C&D once quoted the old Dodge Viper GTS as putting out 300 lb-ft of torque (490 lb-ft peak) at 700 RPM. And we all know most V8 muscle will hit peak torque at 3-5k, and peakier exotic motors 5-6k+ (something like that). I don't believe the torque even drops off....just flat from 0 to redline. That's insane. And did I read that right FIKSE....691 hp for the Tesla? Can't be right, no? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be right, no? Opposite I think, flat HP curve, torque drops off. And yes the P85D have 691 HP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRANSAMERA Report post Posted March 6, 2015 No S-Tronic. No hard launch. Rigged video and prepped track. Fake poster. The Tesla has a tune and TT conversion. I could go on forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabo_martin Report post Posted March 6, 2015 They should do a race from LA to SanFran..... wonder if the 40 hour charge time out of a standard 120V outlet at 240 miles would hinder its arrival time....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Report post Posted March 6, 2015 They should do a race from LA to SanFran..... wonder if the 40 hour charge time out of a standard 120V outlet at 240 miles would hinder its arrival time....... What idiot charges on a 120V outlet when there are free superchargers along the way? Stop for a snack and a shit for 30 minutes and you're ready to go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabo_martin Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Are there free chargers along the way? There are none where I live..... I guess Cali might be different story. Here guys need to get 220V wired into their garage to charge their electrics... prob why I don't see any Teslas on the road here but tons in Cali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouleur Report post Posted March 6, 2015 I have to say, if I had the funds for a 130k daily driver, I would find this hard to beat. I drive a lot, but never that many miles in more than two days. Put the thing on the charger overnight and you are ready to rock in the morning. I think this is a slick package for someone that wants a zero hassle car with free updates and less than 10 dollar fill ups per 350 miles traveled. Also, I hear that they are very insulated and quiet inside. Great if you have to talk on the phone a lot. It is the way of the future for sure, the only limiting factor with a platform like this is the battery/range. If they ever figure out a way to improve vastly on that, gas based cars will be in a lot of trouble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhawks Report post Posted March 6, 2015 right lane traps a little low.... he ran 11.8 @ 120+ as well... you need the DCT R8 to go 124+.... How far off is the left and right lane? I went 124+ just about every pass in my 2010 v10 r8 with a tune and exhaust. I think my best was high 125s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
