Tesla Model S Plaid 2021 will do 0-60 in 1.98s (on a prepped strip with 1ft rollout) & the 1/4mile in under 9.2s with a trap speed over 150mph.


Yay?

Who is fastest wasn't anywhere near the point ... the list shown is "for example" only AND pre-dates that run by Jay Leno's model S.

The point was to show how a dragster will run away from ANY street-legal car including the S Plaid like a cartoon-character in the quarter. (as shown in the video I posted earlier)


And everyone is a slowpoke compared to these guys! :p

(0 to 628 mph in 50 seconds!)

Quarter-Mile HP/weight calculator

115 mph does seem a bit slow for a 10-sec quarter no question.
It would be slow if 115mph was terminal speed at 1/4 mile run after constant full throttle, but he let go at 115 mph a lot earlier than 1/4 mile.
Let's say he hit 115mph at 6.8s (pretty reasonable given 0-100), and in the next 4s his speed dropped fairly linearly to 95, then he covered almost 1/8 mile just in those last 4s when he was slowing down.
Hitting a little over 1/8 mile in <7s @ 115 mph doesn't sound too unreasonable.

Clearly doesn't work in health care. The industry independently keeping fax machines in business.


Unfortunately LOTS of folks in the business-world still send fax's.

They do have the advantage of easily allowing non-techies to send "analog" documents digitally.
