Turbo Hatchback Honda vs. Tesla Model X Plaid, C7 Corvette Z06 and More – Street Digs
August 12th, 2024Sounding a lot like an angry bumblebee, the Frustrate Honda Civic Hatchback is a savage on the streets. Equipped with a big turbo 2.4-liter four-cylinder (high-performance connecting rods and pistons) engine and an all-wheel drivetrain (from a Honda Pilot), this hatchback has earned the name “Frustrate.” The muscle-bound import will be thoroughly tested this evening.
In the first race, the Honda will take on a Tesla Model X Plaid with some degree of weight reduction. As expected, the Tesla jumps out to an early advantage. Unexpectedly, the little Honda spools up and drives around the Model X near the trap and takes the win. The Tesla is Frustrated.
Next, the Tesla tangles with a Porsche 911 with Hybrid turbos. Once again, the electric vehicle comes out of the hole with an advantage before the turbo car reaches maximum output. Porsche FTW.
A C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (ported blower, E85 tune and nitrous) rolls up for some action against the Tesla in the third contest. After multiple 40 mph rolls, the Z06 seems to be the superior baker.
Street bikes are next, including a Kawasaki ZX14R. Don’t blink!
