Dragy is showing 100 mph in the 1/8th mile. Waiting to find a proper "testing" spot near me for a bit more info.
Thinking it may run 125 mph in the 1/4 mile. Not bad for a daily driver pickup truck.
If it would hook up I think 3's 0-60 are doable. I cannot go WOT until around 60 mph. even at a cruise say 55 mph I need to gradually squeeze throttle to keep it from spinning.
I also need a change to rear suspension to help the wheel spin. Lowering the rear so much made it much worse than stock.
Looking at going with some CalTracs and different springs in rear along with a solid front spring bushing.
The 285/40x18 tires are just not enough to hold the power. Not even close.
With the large Baer 14" 6p brakes on all 4 corners looks like 60-0 in 100' or less.

I have always been curious how my truck would compare vs a Tesla non plaid of course.
Well in last week got to find out vs 2 different ones. Lets just say the results were NOT in favor of both teslas. Today a friend stopped by that had not driven truck with current setup.
Him behind wheel i was telling him story about a prior tesla encounter and while telling we see this tesla pull from side road behind us. And of course they got on it pretty hard and were on our tail. Couple probably mid 50’s. Mile later there was a long passing zone and as they pulled out to pass friend says should i? I nodded. 45-110 came pretty quickly and i was thinking truck didn’t drop many gears from 9th. After run friend says “oh i was not close to floor only stepped on it hard enough to stay ahead”
He said in mirror the guy just thru up his arms like what just happened then gave thumbs up.
Next stoplight 3-4 miles ahead i hopped out to see what they had to say. They were both laughing hysterically. Asking what was up with that thing. I then said 57 yr old truck with a 6 cyl and that was part throttle! Light turned green i ran back to truck. We made it thru light but a couple cars got left there.
Both teslas had the Dual Motor with line below indicating Performance
Looking it up they run 11.50 to 11:80 around 112-114 mph in 1/4 mi.
Makes me want to take truck to track now..

Tesla's ain't no joke. Really the only thing going for EV is torque/power. Running with a Tesla says A LOT!!
