No one is surprised with how it ended, but it's still entertaining to watch. :cool:
No surprises. Almost comical how far the GT pulls ahead in the beginning.

I wish it was a better camera angle to see the launch. I also want to see a roll race at different speeds.

Well, it would probably surprise those not on this forum that the first edition had a higher trap speed.

It's almost like people think trap speeds win races.

And don't get me wrong, the GT should trap higher but there's some people here who think the 4X will beat the GT in a race.

Well, I’m not one of them. 12.4-12.8 beats 13.4-13.6 all day every day, and twice on Sunday, right? But….4X being 2 seconds ahead by 110mph (per Car and Driver)is. Just. Stupid. That’s all. A 4X running at close to 80% SOC in 64 degrees (and a half-assed launch) shouldn’t trap this much higher than a GT:

You’re right, it shouldn’t!

Look no disrespect to the GT guys on here but all this drag racing stuff is kinda funny, if you really want to go fast you buy a Tesla! ?

Not a GT guy but aren't the Model Y and GT pretty close from a dig? I mean the MYP will win every time, but they are in the same ballpark.

It's like the Bronco and Wrangler. Bronco wins every off-road comparison, but the Wrangler is still solid. Same ballpark.

Honestly I'm not sure, they probably are close though.

did you not notice that the reaction time difference between both cars. If you remove the RT. The GT is only faster by 1 second over 1/4 mile.

That’s not how timing works at the drag strip. RT doesn’t affect ET.

You could sit for 10 seconds and your 1/4 mile time wouldn’t change.

Man - I am pumped. I have a Grabber Blue FE now with a GTPE on the way (just pushed back 3 months ?). The FE is super fun off the line at the traffic lights - and that GTPE just left it!! I can't wait!
