Tesla Roadster destroys Dodge Demon
« on: November 18, 2017, 12:37:17 PM »
The new Tesla Roadster does 0 to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds (0.4 seconds less than Dodge Demon), 0 to 100 mph in 4.2 seconds (0.9 seconds less than Dodge Demon), 1/4 mile in 8.9 seconds (0.75 seconds less than Dodge Demon), and has a top speed of over 250 mph (more than 80 mph faster than Dodge Demon's electronically limited 168 mph). That's the base model and there may be a faster version coming later. BTW the Tesla Roadster seats 4, and the Dodge Demon comes with only a driver's seat standard to reduce weight. Passenger seats are an option for $1 apiece.

Too bad the Tesla is designed and produced by an egomaniacal narcissistic nut bag that thinks that Skynet is reality!

I think I'll take a Demon & Hellcat for the price of a Tesler.

Owned a car that shut down the ignition at 136mph...

My truck will go 99 mph but not 100, and I have no idea what 250+ would be like. The Tesla Roadster will outrun a jet taking off, so I'm sure it would be an experience to remember. It's the first production car to do 0-60 in (barely) under 2 seconds. Anything that takes twice as long to do 0-60 is still fast.

But compare the price. The Tesla is $250,000.00. And good luck getting one. You can get a Hellcat or a Demon for about $85K.... Or less. At most any Chrysler / Dodge  dealership. And don't forget Chrysler is surviving on it's own. Tesla would have boarded up the windows by now without government subsidizing.

99% of drivers would probably not be able to handle any of these HP autos.  Myself included...

electric cars do have 100% tongue from the get go.

I may have my actors mixed up, but I seem to remember Tim Alan told Leno that Tim's mother could out drag Jay in his 600hp crate stock car.  Turns out Tim's mother had a Tesla.  And yeah, Jay ate her dust.

I don't know why, nostalgia maybe, but I want a shift car.  Not many to be found anymore.
