Chevy truck beats Tesla Plaid

My 99 Silverado 4x4 owning a tesla plaid. Yes I know I red lit the tree. Also some cool build pics of this new power plant that makes over 2000 flywheel hp.

That tig work just pretty 😍 ls platform go down in history. But the plaid probably drove to and from track 😂

badass setup, and I didn't know you were local to me. I'd love to run yours against the uglytruck when I get phase two done!

So awesome!!!

Is this on a stock 14 bolt?

[@Brainstangs]

stock as far as ring and pinion. Has a eaton locker and 4 link built onto the housing. Very strong dif

2000hp, thousands of man hours and lots of money to barely beat a stock 4 door electric car..... I at least admire your commitment to your goals.

Best plaid pass I know of is 9.23. Mine has gone 8.82. May not sound like a lot but it is. However the plaid is badass. No disrespect here. I will go faster! Hang on.

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

@@Brainstangs Oh no 8.82 is definitely " a lot" in a pickup truck or anything else. I know at least two people have run 8 seconds with a driver weight reduction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2bXoIKDZraXlZY

@@cyumadbrosummit3534 cool to see. Several have said similar comments about all I have done just to beat a stock electric car, I think that statement is a bit simplified. The Tesla plaid is way up there in supercar staus in my book. Here’s the thing, I have no doubt if Elon wanted a 7.8 second plaid he could do it. Electric technology is insane. It’s the future. But at what point is it too dangerous for someone to have that kind of power they can buy any day without any experience racing. I agree anything 8 seconds or 9 for that matter is way fast. As with anything if your the driver, you get used to it and want to go faster. My journey with this truck is crazy it would seem to most. My engine could run sixes in a drag car at 3000 lbs. I get asked all the time why??? Well it’s because it’s my different. Everyone has a fox body. I get more attention and people rave over my truck at the strip compared to almost anything. They just like it. For me that’s cool. I can say I built that. It’s fun.

It's the point that tesla put hundreds of thousands of man hours to make the plaid and and only a few people made the modded truck. The person who drove the plaid did nothing at all to the car but drive it. And after the tesla got wasted the truck can go on a mountain for dinner to see a perfect sunset.

It is 1999 20 years older than tesla with million miles pick up truck you can buy for 2500 still manages beat tesla.
