Tesla Model 3 Performance Drag Races Supercharged Corvette, The Gap Is Large

Note that the 'Vette involved in the fight has left its factory state far behind, with the thing having been taken down the aftermarket path. And while we're not sure of the goodies fitted to the car, we know its 6.2-liter V8 now works with a supercharger.

It's no surprise that the EV came to the battle in stock condition, which means the one behind the wheel got to play with 450 ponies. Oh, and let's keep in mind that the Model 3 Performance features all-paw hardware, so perhaps the aficionado wielding the machine relied on getting out of the hole in his quest against the Chevy.

Fortunately, the two drivers took the battle to the drag strip, which helped keep things on the safe side. Of course, this also brought a bit of an advantage for the Corvette, since the prepped surface meant the slab of GM could put its power down.

The piece of footage documenting the run, which can be found below, also includes the 1,320 feet numbers delivered by the Tesla Model 3 Performance and the blown Stingray, which means you'll get a complete view on the matter.

As for the aural side of the brawl, the blower only changes the voice of the V8 beast, without diminishing its decibel power, so the Chevrolet can compensate for the Tesla's electric silence.

Now, if this Model 3 Performance seems familiar, it's probably because we've showcased the electron juice sipper in action before. For instance, here's the Tesla duking it out with a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
