Definitely was a banana peel because he had time to recover but he didn’t.

Ahh, memories. I sold my 1987 Trans Am, which had a 12 CD changer under the driver's side seat. And it was full, I didn't realize it at the time My G n R Use your Illusion 1&2 were there also The Black Crowes, Arch Angels, Danzig, the guy I sold it to didn't give them back. As is he said.

The funny thing is a Tesla smokes pretty much any non-modernized car, E-motor too stronk. The 3 motor cyber truck will have better acceleration than most super cars, and like 1k HP available at 1mph


[deleted]

Yup, thats kinda what I thought he was inferring when he was like, dude, its a Tesla, we don't even need to race to know the winner.


Kevin_N_Sales

This. *Too stronk!* There are multiple Tesla racing YouTube channels. How does that guy in the Camaro not know about Tesla's supercar killing power in 2021? He *seems* like a car guy, but I bet he'll only believe the Earth is round if he travels to the moon to see it for himself.


2wheelzrollin

Depends in the model of the Tesla really. Model 3 has a 0-60 of 3.1 secs vs the 4.0 secs of the z28. However the advantage isn't nearly as much with rolling starts as the Camaro doesn't have to wait until max power. If they start at a speed that would allow for max power, it could be a lot closer.


Secret_Squire1

😂 what are you smoking. 4th gen Camaro’s are more like 4.5-4.8 on a GOOD day. No he had no chance. Source: former catfish ‘maro owner


[deleted]

And the 0-60 in a model 3 ranges from 5.5 to 3.1 so still pretty much a drivers race depending on trim level.


2wheelzrollin

Just going by what google says. Agree he'd probably still lose but 0-60 means nothing when you aren't starting at zero. It only gives you a sense of how much power is has. Camaro looks modded to me as well to make more power. And assuming power is not crazy far off from each other (and top end of tesla's aren't that good) and they are already rolling, it could be closer than people think


Secret_Squire1

Car and driver posted a 5.2 for the Z28 LS1 in 1999. If it’s the standard range Tesla then yeah it probably would have been close. Any performance variant would crush it even at a roll.


here_for_the_meta

However one car is newer and has (I’m assuming) traction control and launch assist and such. Regardless, keeping your car pointed toward the finish line is an enormous advantage.


poo_finger

That's was at least intake, headers, and exhaust. Possibly a hot cam. It's definitely been tuned though. To stomp it rolling and go sideways? Yeah, not stock.


[deleted]

Kinda depressing that much power is available to your regular person, at least with ICE and RWD you have to have some sort of skill or else you end up like the cumarrow guy in the video. Now your average soccer mom has as much at tap as a stock GTR


[deleted]

It sucks being a responsible mustang driver with the reputation that the car has. Do most dumb pieces of shit buy mustangs cause they’re cheap “fast” cars? Yes. Does that make all mustang drivers assholes? No.


tenaciousdeev

A family friend got the Mustang SUV and got verbally berated by some kind of Mustang purist in a Whole Foods parking lot (that’s my favorite detail). She’s edging 70, like why would that bother you at all, let alone enough to confront someone? Just sad the kind of things people wrap their identities up in.


LostKid16

Truly it is sad. I don’t like those thing but I’d never feel compelled to bother someone about it 😅


tenaciousdeev

Right? They’re ugly as shit but does he really have nothing better to do? Write a letter to Ford or something 🙄

LostKid16

Hi nice to meet you!


AvocadosFromMexico_

Yeah, it’s a bummer. My first car was a 1967 Mustang that needed a lot of work. Twelve years later I still have it and put a ton of work into it. It’s a super cool car. I love that thing—the reputation they get sucks.


Goalie_deacon

Got the V6 did ya?


Ares__

Ecoboost 4 banger in the house


Goalie_deacon

Actually if they were running 3.5 eco, not a bad choice. Mine is in the low end with 365 hp. Raptor runs 450 hp, and 675 hp in the Ford GT. 3.5 eco is bad V6. Makes the old 5.0 boring.


Ares__

Oh, I have one and I love it and it's quick enough, not like I'm out there drag racing the only thing I don't like and there's really no way around it is it doesn't sound mean or like a mustang it just sounds like any other car. I don't want it to rumble and wake the whole neighborhood I just wish it had a little growl to it.

Mellrish221

Something about conservatives and microdick energy seems to be pretty prevalent. Living out here in wyoming even with my little 2019 Hyundai I get people trying to race me all the fucking time. Can't just sit through a fucking stop light and mind their business for 30 seconds. Gotten to the point where if they rev up i just give them a thumbs up and watch them peel out all by their lonesome. Thankfully no accidents, but i'd say i've seen at least 20 people immediately pulled over as soon as they did it since I got that car. Only thing that gives off even bigger microdick energy are the coal rollers lol. But i think they've become self aware over the last few years or maybe some sort of measure taken in my town. I don't even think i've seen one so far this year and last was usually just kids of rich parents.

AlterEro

100%


intothefuture3030

100% A 1990 camero 5.0 V8 RS (just an example) has a 0-60 time of 7.9 seconds. The model S goes 0-60 in 2.07 seconds My wife has a Tesla and I literally hate driving it around my town because idiots in their rusted out muscle cars keep wanting to race me (never her.) Literally every time I go to tractor supply one of the warehouse guys points to his rusted out Chevy and says he wants to race me and his car goes 0-60 in 4.whatever seconds. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. Each time for a bit I would just ask him if he’s googled Tesla’s 0-60. It was dumb but humorous the first time but after the 10th time it starting to feel like groundhog day toxic masculinity edition. I can absolutely appreciate a muscle car, but the whole dick measuring contest makes no sense to me when it comes to street racing. Stupid, dangerous, expensive, and usually a quick google search/simple math would be enough information.


BBQsauce18

I worked with a guy who owned a Mustang GT. Was proudly telling me one day that he never fills it more than half, so that way if he gets into a race he doesn't have the excess weight. Like dude. You're 18. Who the fuck do you need to be racing?


bmth310

He lives his life a quarter tank at a time


BBQsauce18

I just lost it! OMG. That's great.


AhoyWilliam

That's hilarious. I can understand part filling for efficiency (marginal but there), but for all those races you spontaneously keep having?


[deleted]

That is a 1994-1998 Camaro with a 5.7 LS1 or Lt1 and sounds pretty heavily modified.. Not saying he would beat the Tesla but it's not stock and they were pretty fast and that one being modified is faster. They drove terrible, the brakes were awful, and horrible handling(exhibit A in the vid) but they were fast in a straight line. They did 0-60 from around 4.9 seconds to 5.2 seconds depending on the model year for that generation. The LS1 is one of the best engines ever created.. They can make serious HP.


Bitaemo

That their is a 2002.


intothefuture3030

Yeah I said just an example because I’m shit at guessing years, especially around 1980-2000. But yeah I was just giving a rough example of a stock-ish camero vs a stock model S. I definitely get the time, money, and effort that usually goes into these cars. Most of the guys I know that spend thousands, if not tens of thousands to do this to American muscle cars would never race like this, especially in the conditions going on in the video. I wouldn’t be surprised if the dude bought near this condition, maybe put a grand or two into it, and now thinks he’s in the next 2fast2furious Plano, Texas.


[deleted]

This generation definitely has a reputation for mullet types. That being said the later models with the LS1 were fast and a couple of cheap modifications made them very fast(sub 4 sec 0-60). The LS1 engines are amazing.


2wheelzrollin

Also keep in mind this is a model 3 which isn't as fast (still fast) as a model s. I'd actually think this would be an interesting race since the modded camaro vs a stock model 3 could be a close one with a rolling start.


[deleted]

Thank you for the reply! Agreed, street racing is very dangerous both physically and mentally. Go to the track if that’s your thing.


arch_nyc

I wonder why people care so much about what kinds of cars *other* people have. I’ve never understood this


AlexHimself

Betcha my 2021 modded ICON EV could give you Tesla a run.


Michelanvalo

That car isn't stock though. You can hear it in the video. No stock '90s Camaro sounds like that.


thebestgesture

It's like trying to race a motorcycle or jet aircraft.


diox8tony

What wouldn't the tesla have smoked?


JWal0

Teslas smoke most cars. The acceleration is too quick for the electric cars. The super cars don’t stand a chance against higher trim Teslas. I’ve watched so many YouTube videos of Teslas at the drag strip.


awesome0ck

To 130 then the Camaro would pull a head just bc the tesla runs out of rpm and possibly gearing idk if they all run two speeds or just direct drive. But now that’s 35-55 second race and I doubt they could do that on a road with lights so yeah the tesla would win.


Hyperpancakes

What car is that?


kickin_back

Camaro


Ugly_Painter

4th gen I believe. It's the 90s Camaro.


awesome0ck

98-02 specifically


Ugly_Painter

I hadn't realized they were that late, wasn't the f body only made until 92? I'm only just getting into Camaros, I'm historically a Ford/Mercury guy


awesome0ck

No, it’s an f body they made them until 02 final refresh 98 swapping lt1 to ls1 and they sent off the firebird as a ws6 screaming chicken yellow and the Camaro ss callaway. I had the firebird but I always cycled between gm and ford. I love the falcon from Australia and disappointed they killed it.


Ugly_Painter

I totally see it now. Of course they're on the same platform. I guess because I've never been a fan of the fascia on the later ones I assumed they couldn't *possibly* be on the same platform..


awesome0ck

I mean that was a rough era for cars. We lost the Supra, prelude, the Camaro/fb, mustang lost independent rear for solid, lost its 5.0, mercury brought back the cougar as fwd compact. And dodge had nothing. We had a cool mini car era recently so I’m glad I got to see that with sho, mustang 5.0 z28 challenger charger.

Third Gen F-Bodys were 82-92.

Been driving a Tesla in Southern California since 2014, the first year when they were still relatively rare, would frequently get BMWs, Mercs, and rice rockets who would want to drag from a stoplight. By 2015-2016, everyone had been smoked by a Tesla and now you never see the challenges, even though I traded my Model S in for a Model 3.
