As an NHRA Tech Inspector, I tech the Plaids on a fairly regular basis.
Not much to look at- but they are fast as hell.
They pretty much dominate everything on street nights.
They decimate the Hellcats- that's gotta be just embarrassing.
NHRA lets them go to 9.0/150MPH- with only a helmet & a fire jacket required.
I still have to tell them to slow it down or they're done- after a 150+ pass.

Plaid vs Veyron vs Lucid.

Skip to around 3.10 for the results:

Little P-3 you wear like a favorite pair of jeans - maybe best all-around driver I've tried. Plaid's a super-comfortable daily that corners pretty flat for a barge and feels like ya took a La-Z-Boy to Magic Mountain when you nail it. And gas is still a gas! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays ...!!

Lucid aire sapphire starting price $250k so I could buy a model S plaid. For myself and my best friend and be about the same . As for the super car I could buy 9 of the Tesla plaid and still have a couple mil left over . �� think I’ll stick w Tesla cause he’ll probably release a patch to beat the sapphire anyway.
They had to give 10% off on lucid Aires last week and call people on the list every day for 10 days before they’d release them from thier pre orders don’t remember Tesla having to do that .

BUT that is impressive that it’s faster than a tesla plaid .

And yes it IS VERY embarrassing that my hellcat Durango, gets smoked by MY WIFES Tesla . It’s horrible .what’s funny is she prefers to drive
The hellcat and I prefer to drive the Tesla . Didn’t see that coming.

Lucid Sapphire is also setup for cornering etc versus the Tesla. I like my Lucid so much I ordered a Sapphire the day they opened up for orders.

The most amazing thing about Plaid's to me is how well and aggressive
the traction control and AWD work, they never spin a tire regardless
of track conditions and are consistent as hell.
We have some fast modified Demons at Irwindale every week
and it takes about 975 hp at Demon weight to stay ahead of them!
