Very nice results!

How did you get the rear tires warmed up prior to the runs? That has been a sticking point [or, more precisely, not] for launching the 12C at the ‘strip.

Kkahn,

Electrical circuits carry usually 80% of rated capacity, so the 14-50A RV circuit actually carries 40 amps. Both of you were correct.

Tesla Model S owner here. It’s not surprising that you saw slightly better times with a full battery. Lithium ion batteries like the Model S’s have a (slight) decrease in instantaneous energy as the state-of-charge declines. The effect isn’t noticeable in ordinary driving. btw, the Model S is a superbly mannered street car, too!

See the difference with the 4 wheel drive cars with the super fast trans. Ie Porsche 911 Turbo S or GTRs.Anyone who wants to win at the drag strip with a new car has only a couple choices.Six Speeds and rear wheel drives will never hang any more.

seems to me that it would have been more fun if it had been a race between the 2013 Shelby and the MP4 C12 lol
