Tesla Model S P100D vs. Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Drag Race Is a Desperate Struggle

However, there are multiple internal combustion perspectives one can use when analyzing Palo Alto's quickest model.

If you're a Hellcat driver, for instance, and you decided to gift your muscle car with a pair of drag radials, the P100D will grab the victory, but you have serious chances of crossing the "finish" line first, thus grabbing attention from the part of the audience for whom this part matters.

Nevertheless, if you happen to drive a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, chances are you'll get left behind by the electric sedan without too many chances of making things even.

Remember, we're talking empirical matters here, based on the few such races we've brought you so far. Speaking of which, we're back with a new P100D vs. Z06 example.

This sees the 'Vette driver doing his best to keep up with the Tesla. And yes, this helps reduce the gap between the two (you'll get the actual numbers in the clip), but the Model S still goes for a flawless victory.

Well, if you find yourself in such a situation (on the suck-squeeze-bang-blow side), here's a topic that sees Tesla drivers having to skip the podium, at least for now - Nurburgring lap times.

In their current form, Teslas overheat and enter a so-called limp model well before completing a Nordschleife lap - in fact, we've come across many examples of Model S limping that involved about three minutes of Green Hell abuse, while any lap that wants to qualify as a fast one nowadays must sit under 8 minutes.

Then again, the track is big enough for EV and V8 drivers to peacefully coexist, so we shouldn't let such battles blow out of proportion.
