Dork Horse got spanked! I had a small amount of hope that it would come through in the turn-around and at least make it within a car length or two.

Charger a tenth behind the M2

Oh this is going to be good....

"Who cares! It's electric!"

"It's so heavy!"

"Dumb fake noises!"

"I'd rather have a stick!" (imagine how much worse it would have been if the DH was a manual)

"It's not fun to drive!"

For a sanity check....the 2024 Model 3 Performance ran a 33 second flat time, beating both of these. Using 'only 500hp'

Correct my math, but a GT, A10, PP can be had for ~$54K + $13K for the SC = $69K.
That's an 800hp monster that should be able to move up that list rather nicely.

Those of you with a SC, how much improvement are you seeing, for far less than those other cars?

It's funny that at the end Edmunds says "we can't wait until we supercharge it"

It's their long term car, so it will be interesting see the results if they run it again after supercharging it!

timed sprints are as bad as stage racing.

Wot duration

what was the improvement/fall off between runs

do a full tank/charge race to compare

" Yes, the Dark Horse isn't as powerful as the GT500, but we can fix that with a few modifications. Want to see how the Dark Horse performs with a Ford Performance supercharger bolted to the top? Check back in the not-too-distant future. "

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to see if they do it again with the DH supercharged.

No it didn’t.

There is a pretty big driver skill disparity between the two testers.

if you watch the full video and see the second race, it’s neck and neck once they switch drivers.

Stop lying lol

Stop lying lol

One guy is a better driver than the other...

Take the best run of each car, the Dark Horse was slower by almost a full second. They show that at the end of the video.
