New Model 3 Performance vs 718 Cayman GT4 Drag Race

No these two cars aren't a good match, but lets do it anyway! In this video Vince, a long time guest on the channel, has. bought the latest and greatest 2024 Model 3 Performance! He couldn't wait to hit the drag strip to see if he could run 10's so I decided to finally bring the Porsche to the drag strip to follow along. I should have borrowed a friend's GT4 RS to not be embarrassed by the Tesla!

I just bought a M3P a couple weeks ago. My other car is a Porsche Boxster. The climate and environment had NOTHING to do with my purchase. It was all about performance and the experience for the buck. Thank you for making the exact same point. I’m a car nut, I have been my whole life, and I still am. The car is a blast to drive, and the sensations are completely different than a gas car. Each has their place, and I enjoy driving both. Oh, and in my day job, I burn jet fuel.

[@JetFuelOnly]

Very nice! 737 here, you?

[@GuiGabois]

The good news is that even though your purchase decision had nothing to do with climate and environment you ARE helping both!

[@mholmes9262]

Same reason I bought mine! I have a ‘22 M3P and now that the new one is out mine seems a bit outdated ha… I’m going with the S next time though, not sure if I’ll spring for the Plaid or not, even my ‘22 M3P feels more than quick enough, and the Model S LR is even quicker than the new M3P. If I do get the Plaid it’ll be for bragging rights and no other reason.

[@clu4u]

I bought a MYP in May, it shares my garage with my 2016 981 Spyder. Horses for courses, it snows here in the Sierra Nevada. I bought TSLA @$20 in 2019 because of climate change. I’m a nerd 🤓

[@mholmes9262]

Both are great cars. I wish folks would stop hating on EVs. Mostly i've found it's because they feel threatened or sad the car they spent years working on gets walked by a car that doesn't make big rumbles. There is room for both in the car world and we should learn appreciate what they all bring to the table! You said it best at the end of the vid. Drive your cars, people, and appreciate what others find joy in. As someone who has owned several 5.0Ls and EVs, i can tell you they both bring me joy.

I don't hate on EVs in general, but this Tesla should not be called performance with these weak brakes. Maybe they should sell an optional performance package tih bigger brakes and that unlocks more power. But sure, the Tesla is good for crusing the street and racing between the red lights.

[@Lifecoach7Ra]

Nobody needs that cynicism when not gifted by fathers money and had to build an own company. Starting in 2009 with a first EV, we are now fully electric, have PV, chargers and backup batteries. So TCO are dramatically a high 30% lower and 54 years we mostly drove German Premium and never US made shit. But Tesla changed that all, as well my personal favorite is a Kia EV6 AWD with in my opinion better drivetrain. This from former BMW M-Sports boss Albert Biermann which delivered something that on our curvy tracks is more important than idiot straight line acceleration races that have nothing to do with really driving a car.

I appreciate your words at the end. I've been a car guy my whole life, my favorite toys as a kid were matchbox cars, which I still have 40 years later. I've owned over 30 cars/trucks of all types, including many sports cars and muscle cars. Too many to list here. My 2024 Tesla Y Performance is the best vehicle I've ever had overall. I didn't buy it to make a political statement. I bought it to do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and have plenty of room for cargo. When they redesign the Y to match the new features of the 3P, I'll upgrade. My desire to buy another ICE car is nonexistent at this point, since I can't afford an exotic.

[@JetFuelOnly]

Interesting experience! Thanks for your feedback, it really does say a lot that the Y is your favorite.

[@jamesschmidt3970]

After roadtripping a Tesla, I'd never go back to ICE. When travelling 1000+ miles, give me a Tesla or put me on an aircraft. ICE sucks for long distance. Toyota, GM and Ford EVs are still far worse though.

[@clu4u]

I went on a 1100 mile round trip drive a couple of times in my 2024 MYP, it was better than I thought. Lots of Superchargers, it was much faster than when I drove my 2016 P85D.

[@left_foot_brake]

What about it do you like better? Why such a clear win for you?

[@jamesschmidt3970]

Better, faster, safer, cleaner, easier, smarter, and very little maintenance. Roadtrips are unquestionably the weakest point of EVs, but with a Tesla, needing to stop for ~20 minutes every three hours of driving is NOT a major issue. In fact, we end up stopping more often for food and restrooms than for charging. And charging locations are more than sufficient for going anywhere in the US at this point (with the exception of a few extremely remote off-road trails.) The Model Y Long Range has the performance of a sports car, the passenger and cargo space of a mid-sized SUV, and fuel efficiency twice as good as a Prius. The only drawback of an EV is the high up-front cost. Being able to charge at home, over night, and NEVER worry about stopping for fuel is a game-changer. 4 years and 30,000 miles and I've replaced one tire, and added washer fluid. No other issues. 20 hour road trips are a breeze with Auto Pilot (and even easier with FSD.) Finding charging stations requires no effort (the nav system does it automatically.) Sentry mode provides peace of mind where ever I go. And knowing that if, in the worst case scenario, I do get in a car wreck the Tesla Model Y is the safest car on the market. Ice and snow handling is as good or better than almost any other vehicle.

[@left_foot_brake]

@@jamesschmidt3970 Thanks for your reply. I completely agree. We stop more often so the kids can stretch, than for the battery. We recently bought a MYP. The autopilot leaves something to be desired here in Switzerland, but otherwise the vehicle is an absolute pleasure. I hope we share your reliability also long term.

I do like your comment at the end of the video. Yes, if you don't like EVs, just don't buy it. At least, EVs don't bother you with noise and exhaust. EVs don't clog your pumps, either. Just leave EVs alone. They pay same taxes and dues. Plus, my EVs are made in USA, not like those German made ICEs. Yes, as a 2 EV owner for the past 3+ years, my family had never been happier. Due to kids' school schedules and my job, we rarely go on road trips. So, commuting with EVs has been just so convenient and flawless. Recently, I had to be relocated due to out of state job, and I brought my EV from the East to the West. It took me 3 days and 20+ charge sessions but there was no single issue. Of course, I wouldn't do it again with EVs but how often will I ever do this kind of long trip by car? Anyway, I enjoyed your video, and I won't buy another ICE for any reason. EVs are superior to ICE. It's a matter of time, not if!

the porsche is prettier (by far) but I'd rather buy the M3P all day!

[@dangrass]

Interesting times when a hugely practical 4 door sedan is faster than a 2 seat sportscar. While this test didn't assess the curvy road prowess of each car, it's getting harder and harder to justify a Porsche or Corvette. As someone who has grown up around manual transmission, lightweight sports cars, the reasons for buying a 2 seater are definitely morphing. While it used to be that this was the only way to get optimal performance, now the main reason is for the visceral experience. The problem with modern sports cars is that simply don't offer the visceral experience of their ancestors. From a gearhead perspective it seems that the best option in these times is to buy a Model 3 Performance and an old Cayman or Miata....with manual transmission.

Yup!

Please put all of those I.C.E. vehicles in museums where they belong.

The USA is lucky because most of its terrain is in relatively low altitudes, so N/A engines have their full power. In other countries we have altitudes of over 5-7 thousand feet so in that case ICE cars are so mega over. Electric cars do not suffer from low oxygen density

Thank you for pointing out not all EV drivers are saving the planet. I love both my EV and ICE rigs. Thank you.

[@JSmith73]

You can be both :-) Charging my 19" AWD LR3 from from PV 3/4ths of the year (not enough sun in winter), and absolutely loving the spirited drive - as an enthusiastic driver, and simracer. My only real expenses are tyres and insurance.

[@sonovabeach]

@@JSmith73 Yep, insurance and tires. Quite a shock but I'm mostly ok with it. I bought it for the experience. 👍

[@Cruor34]

I'm to the far right politically, I drive a Tesla. It's exactly what you said at the end. I bought it because NOTHING can touch it for the price. 0 to 60 3 seconds and all the other features for 50k after tax rebate. I can charge at home. I can do a 200 mile round trip. Its exceedingly rare that I need to chage at a public charger. If you are like me and just drive to work and back or drive to a 50 mile away place and back, buy one. Hands down. If you regularly need to go over 200 miles, don't. It's that simple. Both can exist.

[@JetFuelOnly]

Well said!

[@MBHockey]

It's cute that people think Porsche can't make faster cars than Tesla. They just don't want to yet, since most of their sales are still ICE car enthusiasts.

[@dillydasher8434]

the gt4 is 100k it would be better to compare it to a plaid 😂

[@JetFuelOnly]

The money for a Porsche isn’t buying you speed. You are paying for an experience that some of us prefer. Oh and it pays for clean panel gaps 😂

[@wsu8568]

You are adding insult to injury 😂

[@mattsandford]

Yet I wouldn't care to pay 5k for a Tesla, or any other EV for that matter.

[@patatr4943]

You can on a track, where the GT4 has been built for. And the porsche would eat it up

I've seen people leave the drag strip with a frown... Right after their engine blew up. 🤪

This is true!

[@brianrasmussen2956]

I'm personally selling my M3P and getting a higher en Pertrol car. EVs are great if you want to commute. But, imho a bit too dull.

[@dangrass]

I think Hyundai came up with the answer with the Ioniq5N. Makes all the right noises and it even makes you shift.....more than I can say for the Porsche.

[@AtlzBestM26]

i'd take both for different days but then i have a plaid already and that's just a mic drop....

In a few months when they add a real launch control, Tesla Model 3 Performance should be around 10.5 ish, range...

[@JetFuelOnly]

Hmmm what would they change exactly?

[@Brantoc]

@@JetFuelOnly It's all software. Model S the difference between launch control and just pressing GO is about .5s ..

[@jjamespacbell]

718 Cayman GT4 $105K Model 3 performance $55K GT4 redlined 5 times per run M3 never redlined ( BEVs only hit max revs at max speed >130 mph) How many runs will the GT4 make before issues?

[@JetFuelOnly]

I say you are paying for an experience with Porsche as well as fantastic engineering (and no jacked up panel gaps). The Porsche is designed to do launches and redlines. It’s literally tested to run on a track where it’s redlining hundreds of times a season. No cooling issues, no engine issues.

In Bracket Racing, reaction time does not matter. You just have to get as close to your prescribed time.

[@JetFuelOnly]

Your prescribed time includes the reaction time. You sleep at the light and run 11.5 you are rated as doing 11.5 plus reaction. You will lose. Also why red light is disqualifying.

[@NeerajSharma-m7f]

@@JetFuelOnly unfortunately no. in bracket racing, i can wait to ensure I get a perfect launch after the light turns green. This way I can make the time I prescribed. Won a few bracket races in my day =). Reaction time is only important in heads up racing. This is why redlight is used. Early jumpers give you automatic Ls.

[@WestCoastSupercarsandClassics]

Neither of these are drag cars, where you'd really appreciate the differences would be on windy country roads or at a road course race track.

[@JetFuelOnly]

True but the ZEVcentric car was able to do Laguna Seca only a second slower than me in the GT4 - and I’m not a slow driver. However the MP3 Is only good for a few laps.

Can 911 turbo or Gt3 beat M3P?

[@JetFuelOnly]

Turbo absolutely, GT3 is very close depending on the traction.

@@JetFuelOnly Scary how fast Tes goes! On scheduled to get one end of this month lol

[@Watt_Ihr_Volt]

Yeah but pricewise, that is just a totally different league. That one should try the Plaid.
