The TTRS owner just picked up his new Model 3 Performance. Here are his comments:
=======
[i]"After two F80’s, Hellcat, GT350, TTRS among a few others. I am moving to a Model 3 Performance.
Picking up my white on white M3P this Saturday. With the strong regen braking, instant acceleration, low center of gravity and tight handling. One of the best car’s I’ve driven on the street and I am excited to experience daily. Yes, there is no sound but it more than makes up for it in overall performance.
After I raced my TTRS vs this Model 3 Performance… my decision was made. I have never really lost to anything on the street in 2 years. This thing not only took me from a dig, but decimated me from a roll. This was with him being the heavier driver by 100+ pounds and having heavy, super wide wheels/rubber."
" I had a 2018 TTRS (faster than an RS3). My TTRS was a monster even in Bone stock form. I was running 3.5 second 0-60s on 91 oct and 6000-7000DA via Dragy. Factory freak?!
My 2018 TTRS was neck and neck from various rolls with a friends 2018 F80 DCT/ZCP with full Remus exhaust (minus DPs), 80lb lighter driver, M4 GTS DCT tune.
I had a 2017 stock GT-R (570HP) pull me by *half a FENDER from 60-115 and half a car from 40-120. I pulled a BUS length on my very own GT350 from a short 40-100 pull. Thing was no joke. People have been getting 11.6-11.8s @117-119MPH traps at sea level.
My point? watch the video I posted above of a model 3 gapping me from a dig AND roll. I was in the right gear for every pull (he did NOT jump), but the split second turbo lag cannot overcome the instantaneous hit of the M3P. He was also 100lbs heavier than me and had heavy aftermarket wheels and really wide staggered tires. Which he admittedly said it slowed him down a few tenths 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc. via Dragy testing."
"…I don’t know about random stories or videos with no context to what exactly occurred. In my experience and speaking with all the owners of the cars I ran against. The results were the Tesla pulling up to 115+ and I was no where near catching up.
The 20 and 40 rolls are the Teslas sweet spots. The 60 rolls are it’s big weakness. It’s very hard to line up a 60 roll where I live anyway. So I personally don’t care about those. Maybe in your area of Mexico you can do 60-130 rolls
Sure, I can mod to make crazy power. Then I lose my warranty and peace of mind. It’s $30K to replace the 5 cyl engine. Not to mention the Model 3P does those 3.2 sec 0-60’s on demand. NO launch control required, just stab the throttle. I had to engage my LC and that puts massive strain on the drivetrain, heatsoak, inconvenience, etc.
The Tesla can do this all day long (as long as you have charge). After those runs, he was still at 90+% charge and battery still not overheated. My Audi was already badly heatsoaked after 3 LC dig runs and 3 roll on pulls up to 115+.
Maybe if you live at the drag strip, these crazy modded cars running E85, drag tires, etc can beat it…In the real world the Model 3 only gets pulled on after 110-120MPH in my experience."
"Picked up my new Model 3 Performance. I am in love with thing. I’ve daily driven a Hellcat, GT350, TTRS, Modded F80, etc and this thing makes those feel like tractors. I don’t know what people coming from Priuses and Civics must think
In “chill” mode the cars got more pull than 90% of cars on the road.
The steering is so satisfying and the suspension is super smooth and compliant. Not to mention no lean or body roll with the low center of gravity…"[/i]
Yeah, that Model 3 ain’t got nuthin’ to offer… ;D
