Thoughts on new P85D

[daddymalu]

My boss is getting his new P85D in a couple weeks and I was wondering, how my m6 would do against his car. I know off of the line he will probably destroy me because he is AWD, but what about from a roll like 60 or so? Only mod I really have is dinan stage 1. He is scared to drive anything over 80 MPH so I will probably not be able to get any decent real life comparisons. Just wondering.

Is your car tuned at all?

It would be an interesting race. The Tesla is heavier than the M5, but instant torque from the Tesla is very difficult to compete with not to mention the AWD to put all that torque down.

I dunno, I can't really make a guess as to who would win.

I have dinan stage 1 on my M6.

This thing has 691 HP (221 Front +470 Rear) which is a little more than your tuned M6, but AWD and about 400 lb heavier (I assume you have M6 coupe) so I think you win if you start at right gear

I don't know fellas, that thing is fast in a straight line. I'm concerned about the handling and how it feels on curvy roads. Here is a recent video of the P85D against a Ferrari, but it's really hard to tell exactly where the Ferrari is other than it's behind the P85D. The good part starts around the 33 second mark.

0-60 in 3.2s but my 991tts does 2.7s 0-60.

Because Your 991TTS is 1000 lb lighter

[daddymalu]

Yes sir... I do have a coupe... The tune is supposed to put me at 680 hp, but the people describing how fast that tesla are starting to intimidate me...

I was talking about rolling start and not standstill. M6, in rolling start 40 mph, second gear is a rocket just make sure set engine Sport+ and MDM IF you are comfortable with MDM of course

True dat but this guy didn't have any problem bragging about beating the lighter Ferarri two seater. So I got no problem beating him in my 2+2. I wish one would want to race me, they are all over the place around here but I don't know if there are any of the P85D just yet.

[daddymalu]

The Ferrari the guy beat was an old Maranello... Not really impressive... Not so sure why it got so much media attention...

Yeah it looks old style on the wheels, maybe that is why they didn't show the whole car.

[daddymalu]

It looks like most of the P85D speed is in the first 30 MPH....

Real life comparison, the Tesla will win every time. That thing is like a blender with an on/off switch. Floor it and you have maximum power off the line. There is no shifting or turbo lag or traction issues.

The Tesla will win 0-100mph. That's real life unfortunately. It does mid 11's in the 1/4 mile while the M5/6 does upper 11's. The M5 is catching up by the end of the 1/4 mile since it traps 4-5mph higher, but that means that you'll blow by the Tesla once he's at 120mph and you're closer to 130mph.

We can't expect to sway the table on our side just so we can win the race: "oh I'll race you but we have to do a 98mph roll so I can be in my power band in 3rd gear and full boost".

Anyway, this is magazine racing here based on figures posted and tested by others. Take it with a grain of salt.

What if the m5 was tuned... How would it stack up then?

Damn, that acceleration is impressive. It's Crazy how fast electric cars are getting..

Was just about to say the same thing. Our ///Ms would destroy that ferrari also. Not a good comparo since that ferrari is relatively slow. From a dig he would have to play catch up, but roll a roll i think its lights out for the tesla.

[daddymalu]

There is a video of tesla vs. aventador... In the first 3 seconds the tesla pulls ahead, but after that the aventador starts to walk it... It is almost like the tesla has a burst of energy from a dig and then it runs out of juice...

I have run the p85d on the streets and freeway. On the street you will loose every time as our cars have a hard time putting down the power and with awd it is a simple mash and go for the p85d. On the freeway the tesla seems to not do very well. I have run both the p85d and the p85 and I pull away pretty easily.

[daddymalu]

So basically after 60 mph the p85d is nothing to worry about?

On a roll the tesla is a boat anchor against the M5 /M6 . After a few pulls the tesla gets slower too. From a dig tesla does some work on the M5/6
