Not an impressive outing for the Mopar products. Such poor launches, seems like they're being too gentle. Perhaps they fear that metallic tinkling sound following them (created by disintegrating transmissions and differentials). He, he, the Blue Oval and Bow-tie boys must be loving this.

Tesla Claimed a 9.23 quarter mile time. We ran a 9.24 in this video, and a 9.28, even after about 900 dragstrip passes in this car. And although we also removed the rear seat, like the Demon170 owner did, we still have our very heavy front passenger seat (he doesn't), plus we have all airbags, 20 stereo speakers, all door panels, etc. Worst pass of this night for the Tesla was 9.37 (at lower charge, lower ambient temp and poor track conditions).

The Plaid's additional superpower against the dedicated drag racers is simply better consistency (along with 1020HP). Even with some track prep issues, you don't see those ignition, fuel issues, and with AWD you don't have the same bog or spin launch issues.

Our Plaid REAR Wheel+Tire Weights: 19” OEM Rears P Zeros: 56.4 lbs Tire: 30 lbs, 10.5” wheel 26.4 lbs (Aero covers +1.6 = 58.0) 20” Nitto NT01s on Martian MW03s: 59.2 Tire: 33 lbs, 9.5” wheel 26.2 Larger wheels are of course normally heavier. Like the 21” OEM Rears PS4S: 65.4lbs Tire: 30 lbs, 10.5” wheel 35.4 (9 lbs more than 19”s!!!) Why did we go with 20”s? Not because we wanted to! The tire diameter must match the OEMs at 28.0” (+/- 3-5%) or bad things happen (power steering disabled on our 2019 Model S with a slightly different tire diameter!). Although there are great drag tires for 18” wheels, those require modifications to the brakes that will void the warranty. In 2021, there wasn’t a good tire for 19”s either. So, we had to move up to 20”s
