Lightest Tesla In The World Gets The ULTIMATE Driver Mod! (New World Record)

[@Dillbeet]

Greg’s charisma is such a vibe and goes very well with the boys!

[@Dillbeet]

Boiz*

[@Pedroisanickname]

He's a natural.

[@liamgreenough9926]

Second that

[@ZiggyAndTheSpiderFromMars]

I love that they even thought to do this, using Greg's natural size advantage to take the record.

[@the_comedycritic6066]

Dude is so chill!

[@coyebeauchamp8474]

Greg is a whole vibe! He needs to be a regular on the channel!

[@abrahampilkington]

Totally agree

[@TheGrahamReaper21]

Egh... He is awesome! But I'm here to watch Kyle rip.

[@keitheby3918]

I agree. Would love to see more of Greg and his get r done attitude.

[@slaw8609]

Let's go !

[@InitialRacing]

Agreeeed

[@jasonmfshow]

Greg might be small, but his personality is big! He's a natural on camera, and you Boiz should definitely have him back on the channel!

[@EpicWInGameplays]

Couldn't agree more! and a petrol head to boot already!

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

You're as tall as what you stand for and that dude is every bit as tall as anyone there. Plus he's friggin ripped.

[@seandiffer8271]

I agree mate, Gregg adds something to the chanel I cant put into words but yous should definitely have him back!!

[@michaeldean2252]

Very cool he showed up with his own racecar and a custom seat. If he wasn't already a gearhead and just "some guy" they brought in for the weight savings I feel it would have delegitimized the accomplishment somewhat. The boiz hit a homerun with Greg!!

[@peterjohnwatson4340]

Elon should put that man in space. You think light weight matters in a car, rocket to orbit a little more so.

[@siraff4461]

Greg is cool af. I love how he just jumped from a ~13s pb to an 8.7s record and never lifted, never acted up or even seemed that bothered. You can tell he's got plenty of time hammering cars. Would love to see him on here more.

[@alanrickett2537]

He is a jockey that a lot more scary and demanding than drag racing

[@Thefreakyfreek]

The love for speed is unreletles

[@midnight347]

I mean it's an awd ev that basically drives itself a grandma could drive this thing fast.

[@Krash_fpv]

​@@midnight347 a grandma isn't running 8 second quarter miles on autopilot and staying that calm.....give Greg his damn flowers he literally jumped 5 sec quarter time and didn't let up or hesitate

[@davezoom-yb8pm]

It never went 13s.....it probably went 9.3 stock or even 9.1 stock and then 8.7 with hotter tires.More of a waste of time.

[@JeezyMaC]

Greg is the Driver Mod we didn't know we needed. He's hella chill and funny, hope we see more of him 💯💯

[@profuse007]

Lol ... driver mod... didn’t see this coming

[@alexandreapril5694]

We need to see Greg as often as possible, he's a great addition to your incredible team!

[@1nvisible1]

*Not sure if track rules allow it but consider this tail mod. Two 3-4" diameter intakes at the airdam running high pressure air inside the car and exiting 6-8" off the outboard corners of the tail, but... both are steerable, so you can dial in angle of exhaust towards centerline so real effect is your high pressure air essentially extends laminar flow of the tail.*

[@andylewis7360]

Now THAT is what I call thinking outside the box! A little driver mod! Classic! 😂 Congratulations Greg and the boiz! Great job!!

[@davidvillalobos8807]

That’s what I’m saying !!!

[@majkiboy86]

Despite being a small dude in his physical form,Greg is a giant is his soul. Well done,congratulations on the record guys!

I gotta say though Greg is an absolute rockstar for setting that record with the Tesla. That driver mod was brilliant and paid off spectacularly

[@xOFFtheCUFF]

He’s a rockstar, that’s the first thing I said.

[@caseyhatfield1017]

“I’m just half a man that hit a button”….😂😂😂😂😂…I look forward to more content with Greg…He fits the boostedboiz personality perfectly….I just can’t stop laughing at his comedic self….NICE JOB GREG GETTING THE RECORD!!!!

[@michaeldean2252]

Loved that line from Greg as well. It takes a strong person to be able to laugh at yourself. There are a lot of people out there who could probably learn a thing or 2 from Greg.

[@russellcottingham5185]

This is the video I've been needing today! You guys broke the record, introduced an awesome person to the channel, and even had a cameo of Sam. Two thumbs up

[@griptopia]

greg is super cool please get him back on the channel again soon, seems like a lovely guy

[@NovaRedHead]

Show him the K-NSX 😅

[@maddog1011]

Greg is one hell of a dude. Came through in the clutch. Would love to see Greg in more videos. What a great drive.

[@Hobz79]

You could be missing out on a lot by not reducing your cross sectional area. Cd is just part of the picture. If you halve the Cross section you halve the drag force (IF the Cd remains similar). Lose the windshield, recline the seat, drop the sheetmetal to about shoulder height. Will probably be fine keeping the cage as is for testing. On a Tesla you could probably go even more aggressive as the battery is flat and you don't have a tall engine limiting your body profile.

[@wolfsta2021]

exactly, CDA is where it's at, the safety of this setup with roof exit only is not good at all

[@2Vanilla]

dude that was absolutely awesome, please have greg back for future track records / top speed runs on other equipment

I came here to say the same thing!

[@Syritis]

Actually LOL'd at this comment

[@Gdesign959]

Greg killed it. That had to be quite a step up from his original fastest high 12 in the quarter. Not an ounce of fear in the dude he was ready from the get go. Nice job!

[@XYRYX1]

This is really an interesting task to make it faster and faster by making it as light as possible but you haven’t really tried one thing. Weight distribution! Try ADDING weight ON THE REAR. You might maxed out or nearly maxed out by doing all the weight reduction. Try adding weight on the back end to improve traction where most of the power and torque is needed. Have you ever used axle weight pads to get an idea of how your weight is distributed? I think you might have removed a lot of weight on the rear end and shifting weight to the back end or adding weight on the back end first might actually help you here. Would love to see you guys experimenting with weight distribution and / or more weight on the back!!! Keep on rolling guys, you are doing fantastic!!!

[@ruger8412]

As always seeing Sam is a pleasure!! What great guy! Greg is a class act too!

[@djmips]

totally - I can't help but give a thumbs up just for Sam but how about three thumbs up for Greg and everyone else on this one!

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

Greg for hire! Super glad to hear it! Now he can fly all around and set records and earn more than enough to build his next dream car!

[@justlooking3572]

Well done Greg, you're a giant in my eyes. a true record breaker. Congratulations dude.

[@FrunkToTrunk]

Seeing that smile from Greg at 4:53 is what the PLAID is all about! *Let’s GOOO!*

Dude, Greg is so chill! Love it. "This aint no Miata..." No Greg, no it isn't.

[@trimman1]

Congrats Boiz! Not only did you break a World Record, you picked up a new team player, the Ace in the hole , a Bad Ass Beast of a Man!

[@obezzyjohnson9680]

That would be great to see Greg to become one of the boosted boiz n he already got his Lil car n it's running n boosted already so that's a perfect match for y'all to try to get Greg on board with y'all n think he would be a great team player with y'all n then to think bout how Kyle has 3 of the world's fasters cars in da world. He got da Mr2, NSX,n now the Tesla oh hold up I 4got bout the Honda mini van so that's 4 fasters cars in fleet

[@richh9570]

​@obezzyjohnson9680 he has the prelude and Honda Odyssey too. I think it's 5 of the fastest specific vehicle types.

[@dylanzrim3635]

Pretty sure Greg has been round on and off for a while now.

So does that make Greg an honorary Boosted Boi? LETS GO! Glad to have you along for the ride, Greg! Congrats, Greg, Kyle, Wyatt, and everyone who has helped along the way to make this possible.

[@LucidLoki]

Damn Greg’s a beast!! Congrats on the record, you guys really were the dream team. Just some ideas: maybe do a polycarbonate windshield, lighter wheels, make the front part a solid carbon fiber shell with no gaps and carbon fiber side panels. Good luck and ready to see what comes next!

Congrats on the record guys! This has been a wicked fun series!

[@danielmoser1024]

[@michaeldean2252]

I completely agree. Genius move by Kyle. Greg is obviously addicted to the speed and driving like many of us. I feel like more Greg content would do really well wether on here with the boiz or he could possibly even use his popularity on here to jumpstart his own YT channel.

[@georgeau2523]

You could reduce the frontal area dramatically by cutting off the windscreen entirely and making the driver lie down, it doesnt need room for 4 people and their luggage anymore, then you could take it to Bonneville and test the top speed

[@cajampa]

They need to unlock the speed control first if they want to push for top speed runs. I hope they do it, the Plaid does 216 mph+ unlocked stock and with there weight mods it could go even faster. I think there version is locked at 170 mph or something and the track package version with upgraded brakes and tires is locked at 200 mph.

[@joeclutchless1944]

You beat me to it. A 5-6 inch chop would do wonders for reducing drag.

[@AaronBeadles]

Greg is a friggin pimp, such a cool dude! Dude was born ready for this, his miata was sick too!

[@Nick_With_A_Stick]

If you are taking any tips, carbon fiber wheels, areo cover for the wheels, use dimples on the rear like the Bugatti bolide. This would drop a lot of weight and rear end drag and Or a diy hoodscoop that pushes air out the back to remove drag + drill and slotted carbon ceramic brakes.

[@Jessev741]

Surely Plaid mode and Track mode already do that?
