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

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.

[@thepurpleq782]

“I’m just half a dude who pushed a button” 😂😂😂 I love Gregg man

[@profuse007]

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

[@wrldgaming9818]

Can we just talk about how Kyle has 3 of the quickest types of cars in the world possibly 4 with the minivan

[@TheSBroutine]

And the prelude if they ever revive that thing again

[@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.

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

Well done Greg! Well done team!

[@TheMrDarius]

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.

[@sebu46]

Actually LOL'd at this comment

[@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.*

[@SHITTYBOYZ1]

Dude Greg is ridiculously humble and a chill dude... mad respect goes out to him and his miata is on of the cleanest I've ever seen. He should he a recurring driver mod on the channel 100%

[@KrazyWorldWars]

💯

[@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

[@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 😅

[@dennybrows9916]

Bro, Greg’s smile after that launch said it all. Fucking love greg

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!

[@justlooking3572]

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

[@Seventh7Art]

8.71 @ 158 mph is incredible... Elon needs to add a fourth motor to the Plaid to give it 1400 horsepower, in total.

[@OrangeDurito]

Damn bruh! Congratulations. This obsessions with speed of a thousands of a second is something new to me and I watched 3 videos of yours in a row, seeing you making minutest incremental improvements and finally achieving this record. Totally deserved it. And yes, Gregg is such a cool person - the best one for the driver mod haha

[@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!

[@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]

Lol am 6,4 and look like hulk driving a golf cart when am driving my 99 ek

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@micheltremblay4774]

The Boiz + Greg make an awesome team for the win. Congrats!

[@TheFinder6960]

I spit everything out when you revealed how you were able to drop more weight😂😂

[@goodgod9330]

Yep, crazy

[@axlmcintosh6148]

Dude, Greg is awesome! Gotta get him on the channel more

[@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.

[@Sir_Leelord]

[@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.

[@R3VIVAL_CHANNEL]

Need to do a build series for Greg. What a legend. Give that race car of his an updated power plant 😎😎

[@MartinMcDarren]

Hey, I have a great suggestion for you. Try covering the back tires of your car with aluminum foil, as close to the tires as possible. This will greatly reduce turbulence and improve your car's aero performance. It's worth giving it a shot, you have nothing to lose!

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

now you need to get into software and traction control adjustments, battery warming and getting the temp consistent, and adjusting tire size to get motor RPM perfect. i bet itll do a 8.50s with those things done and you in it.

[@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.

[@freedomfox8183]

All he wanted to do was beat that number now it's back to what it was supposed to be, eroy the salvage 😂

[@gmyatko]

You need to address vibrating panels. Any panel that is oscillating through the air is disturbing additional cubic inches of moving air. It acts like a small parachute. Your open gigantic box on the back of your car has a tremendous negative pressure, sucking you backwards. I understand you have those shock towers, but you can always slope the center area down and make more of a tunnel. You can get another three tenths thinking more about your aerodynamics.

[@duckiedx]
