Our Best Plaid Race Ever? Nitrous 440ci Nova! 1/4mile vs 88mm Turbo Wagon! COPO vs Whoa-tary! 4K UHD

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Was the race vs the Nitrous Nova at 12:15 our best ever? 🤔 We want to hear your thoughts…

[@paulmonahan2975]

I like how you talk to the racers after your races and show what they’re running in that that’s why I like your channel

[@ivegoneplaid]

Didn't expect that wagon to be a 8 second car. WOW!

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Crazy boost on that big beast!😃

[@jbmolina6383]

Grocery getter vs grocery getter. Good racing😎

[@1971joseramirez]

Wao that pass with the LTD 🙌🏼. Congratulations on the consistency of you car after all this years I hope mine behaves the same 🤞🏽

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Thank you kindly sir 👍

[@umaireg6]

One of your best uploads

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Thank you kindly!

[@speedracerjeff]

Awesome runs. Some fast cars there. Another great vid!

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Thanks Jeff! 😃

[@FrunkToTrunk]

That LTD Wagon then I saw the chute! *Nice race!*

[@GregoryMannarino]

Great work!

[@cynthiaguarnotta817]

I cant think of anything better than watching this and my cup of java, Thank you , I love it I love I love it.. really gets my engine roaring. GO GREGORY GO in your cool COPO!! My mom had an LTD and the engine said 400 on it..she was a speed demond on the fwy..LOL. I have a need for speed too. Ciao

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Thank you for the kind words 😃

[@cynthiaguarnotta817]

You are so welcome!@@TeslaPlaidChannel

[@deanmcmanis9398]

Good races! Although that rotary powered racer was scary, and not in a good way! Still, he did save it, so kudos for that. You had some really challenging races, keeping you on your toes. It was good to see you edge out the Nova, because it is such a formidable racer.

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Indeed, we now avoid cars as “unpredictable” as that rotary, and especially pickup trucks 🛻 And that Nova race might just be my favorite race ever, because it wasn’t only the car that was 0.02 faster, but the reaction was 0.02 better than a great semi-pro racer like Don 👍

[@thedownwardmachine]

Code brown, code brown! You zoomed in on the skid marks but I suspect there were more. Glad everyone came out alright, cars running great and good vibes all around 🙏

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Ha! We see what you did there....

[@HanzGruber-j1v]

That wagon was awesome and a great race 🏁

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍 We loved those two wagon races, and the Nova and his wheelies even more! 😃

[@joetripp123]

I love your races with Don. He's such a nice guy and what a race!

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Thanks! He is a great competitor. We’ve raced him a bunch of times, but this one was EPIC 🤩

[@g2145cal]

"No Time" on the civic...I'd be embarrassed too

[@chrisvig123]

I’ve seen those EG hatchbacks run in the 6’s

[@phase3ute]

That wagon is a weapon. love it. Love the plaid to obviously.

[@aaronmiller5012]

That tesla and nova looked close. Ive seen the other videos of you racing that nova and it’s awesome. One race you win and another the nova wins, that’s neat. I even watched that one vid of that nova doing that huge wheelie.

[@AmariLambo]

That ltd what a beast that is a real low cost build too probably less than 20k in the whole thing in parts and car included

[@jamesengland7461]

Great races once again!

[@staypufft80]

The wagon was nuts. Actually looks like a perfect setup. Long wheelbase to keep the nose down. The COPO is my favorite though. Sounds amazing (biased Camaro owner).

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Amazing how many 8-second cars we are seeing! And although consistently blazing quick, the COPO can’t be driven on the street (no VIN or mirrors, etc), whereas Nick drives that wagon over an hour to the track! Dang! 😳

[@staypufft80]

And your car sir is just incredibly fast, reliable, and consistent!

[@jeppahorse]

*This video contains no slow cars. Only a wounded rotary champ.

[@rexbridewell7966]

Remember you are the FOOT BRAKE MASTER!

[@VxO4fame]

Love your Videos. Keep it up

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Thank you kindly 😃

[@jesussavescars807]

Your the whole reason I got a plaid lol I just don’t post codes because hard to see the speed on video and makes no sound lol that the camera picks up we can hear it but not the viewer

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Indeed, the built-in cameras aren’t any good for posting videos. We use six other cameras (4 GoPros, 2 BlackVue dashcams) 😃

[@MrWheelGun]

LTD wagon is smooth and he has your number 😊

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍He certainly does now. We had a different result previously, but he’s certainly turned up the boost 😃

[@nicholasdesimine5223]

Now I do at Bradenton but the last few year was the opposite result every time

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

@@nicholasdesimine5223 Right on Nick, thanks for these runs 👍

[@ag92oo4]

Are you still running the Pirelli P Zero? Have you considered r888r?

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

We go back and forth between the original set of P Zeros (as delivered with this car 31 months ago) and our Nittos. Toyo does not make a R888R in the required 28” diameter for a 19” wheel. The 20” version is not optimal, heavy at 33 pounds, and otherwise similar to our Nittos. On this night of racing we were on the Nittos and ran four 9.25s in a row. But we’ve already got the original Pirellis back on and won money this week with them…

[@alanosborne6921]

enjoy your channel any news on the PLAID PLUS

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Thanks! We wonder the same, but haven’t heard anything lately other than the recent roadster talk. We’ll pass along any news if/when it breaks

[@kaligriffin8212]

What tires and PSI do you run in your plaid?

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Depends on the track prep, but often 40psi, sometimes as high as 42, never lower than 37

[@kaligriffin8212]

@@TeslaPlaidChannel Are you running the stock Pirellis?

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

The original tires that were delivered on the car 31 months ago. Occasionally we run our Nittos, like in this video, but the original P Zeros are on the car now and won the first place💰this week. Video coming next weekend

[@allmtrz6]

Correction....civic hatchback aka hatch

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

👍Thank you sir. We must have had “wagon” on our brains due to the LTD😃

[@ericlaing435]

I always watch other videos that happen to be at Bradenton (HUGE events) but I never see this channel or car. 🤔 There are no crowds etc. Why? I don't get it. If you're so proud of your plaid, SHOW IT OFF don't hide from almost every other race that goes down.

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

The bigger events don’t offer a class that fits the Plaid. We’ve checked. And brackets don’t allow us to grudge race with interesting cars, only consistent cars and sandbagging drivers. But we did race a shootout this week and won the first place money💰 . That video comes next week👍

[@jamesengland7461]

Hide? On KZbin, uploading new videos just about every week? Racing from daylight into the dark? Passing wins and losses and red lights?

[@awo1fman]

The biggest problem with Teslas is that there's no way to "turn it up". There's no way to increase the power, and no way to even upgrade the rubber. You can get different, stickier and/or lighter rubber, but you can't make a significant increase in contact patch because of interference with suspension and body. About all you can do is strip out as much weight as possible. So while Teslas are very consistent👍, they're also very consistent👎...

[@barisbolat7152]

Nice

[@deniccol6140]

do you have the track package?

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Nope. Thats for road course racing, and only slows these cars down in the 1/4 mile 👍

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

19”s wheels are best for drag racing, the Track Pack requires 20”s or larger : kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3Kclaicg6mGopo

[@alexanderelsen9185]

What's the ratling noise when going high speeds??

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

The gutted interior. All sound deadening material and carpet has been removed from the back. (Rear seats and trim too)

[@scstang377]

cool but reaction time don't count into et. When you break the beams from end to end is ET and reaction time doesn't count but leaves you behind.

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Right of course. Amazing how many newbies believe ET includes RT… (We’ve got about 2000 timeslips)

[@rokitman5753]

The 4cyl sound crappy

[@liamfarrowable]

Richard rawlings let himself go a bit.....

[@jeanettejohnston5594]

💯 Promo sm

[@kcw9313]

All the Tesla can do is rip out even more of its rattling interior. Else it’s the same old boring runs.

[@TeslaPlaidChannel]

Good thing that Reaction Times make a difference. Sorry to hear you missed the Nova race at 12:15 😉 And then beating faster cars with a holeshot never gets boring. Like these 3 times in a row including a 0.000 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH-lnZqsh5aFbtE

[@Boomtendo4tw]

Could add a 4th motor

[@bnashiningstar7633]

...no different than combustion engines- same thing every time!

[@mattsparks5957]

Could hack the pc and add all kinds of torque and horsepower. Remember the Tesla is stock. Lol wait until someday when they are not stock.

@@mattsparks5957 Wait for the Roadster 2 looking forward to what it can do at the drag strip. Expecting it will take on Top Fuel Dragsters.
