As a C7 vette owner and a M3P owner, this doesn’t surprise me at all! M3P is a beast off the line.

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks for watching! I’m waiting for c8 prices to come down in a few years. Would love one honestly, they’re so cool

[@johnengland8619]

Thanks for sharing, always interesting

[@LearningFast]

Great content. Your 7.28 1/8 time is actually quicker than my best 100% stock Model 3 Performance time(7.30). I have 18” wheels and weight reductions now so I have run 7.12 in the 1/8. If you can get 18” wheels that will help considerably. Also taking seats out will get you another 10th in most cases. Keep up the great work. I enjoy your videos. You could definitely get the record with weight reductions.

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks for watching!! If this was a track only car I would definitely consider it’s also my daily so unfortunately taking seats would be a lot of hassle for me. I also really like the look of the uberturbines so I don’t wanna get rid of em, even for a tenth of a second advantage which is pretty big in the 8th.

[@LearningFast]

@@RichOnTrack taking the seats out is actually really easy. It is a couple of bolts. Takes about 8 minutes to take everything out if you have the wrenches ready to go. It takes longer to preheat the car than take the seats out.

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

YES!!!!@@LearningFast

[@mrh3085]

Holeshot win against a purpose built drag 5.0 Mustang in the 1/8 is something to be proud of. “Driver Mod” is always the most important in any drag race.

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks for watching !

[@borinvlogs]

Great races. I'm loving my M3P but it needs more top end power. Hopefully Tesla will fix this issue in the new Model 3 Performance. Also it would be great if you could mention SOC as well. 👍

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks for watching! I will definitely try to mention SoC for every race. I am also hoping for more top end power from the new performance 3. Maybe even a plaid 3

[@evolv.e]

This is where the 3-motor Plaid shines - videos show S & X Plaid still pulling hard at higher speeds. Not sure if there’s enough room for a third motor in a M3, but if Tesla manages to build a Plaid M3, I’m buying one. Until then, the M3P is still pretty damn quick. I currently drive a Performance Model S and absolutely love it, but have been eagerly waiting for the Plaid 3 to drop. If a Plaid version doesn’t appear within a year (now that the new 3 is official), I’ll likely get an S Plaid and call it a day.

[@RichOnTrack]

@@evolv.e if they did a plaid 3 that would be insane. But then with plaid S being 90k how would they price a plaid 3? 60k for 0-60 in 2.5s and quarter mile in like 10.5??

[@lemongavine]

@@RichOnTrack it looks like a dedicated track car and it might be geared for 1/8 mile. If so, you would win in 1/4 mile against it.

closes race I had once was 0.001s with my 86 camaro doing 15.4s vs a 10.9s mustang similar to that one. (index race) so I started like 6s before in a 1/4 mile

[@RichOnTrack]

I wish we had some index racing here! I saw some being run when I was down near San Diego but unfortunately I didn’t understand how it all worked so I didn’t participate

[@ColumbiaBros]

Awesome bro! I feel like people dont see how incredibly hard it is to have a reaction time that is as good as your getting consistently! Awesome to watch man and growing fast!!!! What track do you go to? I would like to see a run against my x3 m40I that would be dope!!!

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks for watching! I feel like my years of playing video games is helping me with those reaction times haha. I race mainly at Irwindale on Thursday Nights but I will travel for a 1/4 mile to Bakersfield or Las Vegas or wherever!

[@immhepp638]

I love the look of bmw X m40! I traded my 2020 BMW m40i for 2022 MYP and never once stopped smiling! I absolutely loved all my other cars with the m40i being my ice favorite but it’s just incredible feeling in my everyday driving knowing it’s like ice car on steroids ! Like you have the car on a yo yo string! QUICK AND FAST and will pull back instantly when driving in traffic. One pedal driving is so under rated in my opinion of course🤷‍♂️ Oh I can’t see you beating my myp because I dragy timed both my m40i and myp. His m3p is faster yet!✌️

[@fruityboy7717]

People don’t realize the dig isn’t even the teslas fastest pull. If you look at the dyno of the model 3 you can see the Tesla puts out the most power from a roll around 30 or 40 roll. Car pulls like a lambo 30-130.

[@RichOnTrack]

Dang really?! That’s crazy

[@MrJeffhart24]

That gap will only widen with the 24 M3P.

[@FilmedbyFresh]

500 subs! 🎉

[@RichOnTrack]

Halfway there !!!

[@sk72]

Hi Rich! For each run, how did u set up power distribution to the wheels?

[@RichOnTrack]

Hi I’m usually 50-50 unless the track calls for it. For instance I did a 60-40 with more power to fronts but that was a badly prepped track. I’d say 50-50 is best for 98% of the time

[@lemongavine]

Track mode power distribution is irrelevant in a straight line. The setting only applies when turning the wheel. You can set 100% front and you’ll have the same ET.

[@gust9464]

[@gaivoron]

Does that mustang have a CVT trans? No shifts.

[@spiraling69]

Very interesting ! Id like to see 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. 1/8 mile just doesn't mean much to me.

[@RichOnTrack]

I have some videos of me at the 1/4. Problem is the closest 1/4 mile track is 3 hours away and not open regularly(usually once every month I believe) and it’s like $150-200 each day compared to the $40 it is at my local 1/8

[@MacOSeX10]

I can’t decide between a c8 and a Model 3. I’ve always wanted the roar of a v8 but the quick throttle is pretty neat haha.

[@RichOnTrack]

I know! For me the model 3 was a much better financial choice being cheaper and having no maintenance as well as the cheap cost of fueling it with electricity. That and autopilot made it the clear winner but I still love the c8 so much

[@andrewskaterrr]

I was in the same boat. I wanted a fast daily though instead of daily + sports. I picked the 22 MP3 and sold my Camry. I do regret it a little because I want a V8, especially the C8, but it’s not daily capable in the Midwest. If you have a daily already, then get the C8 hands down. The car is faster than the MP3 and way cooler. I may try to get the Hybrid C8 next, but we’ll see.

[@MacOSeX10]

Thanks! Yeah going to see if they release the new model 3 here to compare but if there is no change I’ll be getting the base 1 lt as a weekend car lol

[@PorkchopExpression]

Both great. C8 is a good 2nd car, not the best daily driver for most.

[@joseywales898]

Go with the New Mustang 2024 500hp and very comfortable for those long rides also has 4 exhaust sound, lots of top end.

[@rickeybarnes6471]

Great races, no track mode this time?

[@dvlzn]

since he recently supercharged, i believe turning on track mode turns on the cooling for the battery, and since he wants the battery warm, keeping track mode off is the better option.

[@RichOnTrack]

Not This time! My next video where I’m at the 1/4 mile racing plaid model S, I NEED track mode cause the rear motor gets too hot

[@RichOnTrack]

Thanks for those kind words!

[@Iegend17]

Wait so why do you have a drawing on your windshield that says 820hp ?

[@RichOnTrack]

It’s my number for the day so they know what time slip to give me. It’s probably like 820 and H which stands for helmet which is required because of my time.

[@Venumonkey]

What are you using that makes that sound at launch

[@RichOnTrack]

Just a sound effect for gran turismo starts haha

[@Venumonkey]

Awesome job thanks for the great video!

[@Venumonkey]

Just placed an order for the new M3P hopefully I can find a track here in Miami to try a few runs

[@cujet]

Impressive! It really is hard to beat a performance EV. They ROCK. I also disagree that noise and shifting is required for enjoyment, it's not. Even so, it's good to remember that a true GT car is faster than any EV, on a high speed "touring" trip. As high travel speeds, long range and quick fill ups are the name of the game for a GT car.

[@DPCcars]

Nice reaction time.

Please remember my Prius has beat every challenge at a red light. A Camaro, a Mustang, even a Harley was left behind by my little dumpy EV! However, I do get a lot of angry fingers stuck in my face as they shoot past me at 20 mph over the speed limit after the race!

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

Driving YP at the moment and I must say I do miss the 3P accelleration. I hope the refreshed Model 3 wont be too good, or I will have to start making up excuses to go back to 3P... He he.. Really though, in seriouslyness, the 3P I think is the best car size wise.. But since the 3P cant have hitch and its a sedan, its the main reasons I bought YP.. But I miss the gokart feel of the 3P and the accelleration... I just wish they would do a refresh with Y rear hatch and the hitch on 3P... But if the refresh is very much quicker, I may have to figure something smart out. Maybe I could have a new 3P and also a second car for hitch/ebike rides.

[@RichOnTrack]

The Y perf was still fast when I drove one

[@chriscotton4207]

2 things to help here. Your decimals. Im not sure why you say them weird because your English sounds perfect. But its not 6, 1 thousandths. Its just 6 thousandths. In trades we say thou. But whatever. Also instead of the 1 second headstart give the hit or have a tease. What i do in mine all the time is just stay a nose ahead. They always feel like they can do it 😅. The benefits of being able to flutter your power so effectively. Also your channel is amazing. Im binging it all 😂

I own a Tesla 3P and a c8 Z51. The Tesla is consistently faster accelerating because no launch control or other shenanigans. Why does the Vette have to go through that process each time? Can’t it just be there? 4:32 The really surprising thing is that they are equal on a road course. The Vette, of course, looks better and sounds great as it should for double the price!

[@mikeyc8139]

Really liking your channel. I do believe in the saying that if you don't occasionally redlight, you're not trying hard enough. BUT, I submit you're cutting it a little too close. You've got some of the best RTs I've seen but if you lose 10-15% of your races at the tree due to a red light, IMO it's not worth the gamble. Sure, it feels bad when just a tad faster RT could have gotten you a win in a close race but that happens less often than you redlight. Just my opinion.

[@RichOnTrack]
