Tesla Model S Plaid Vs McLaren 720S: Gasser Gets A Head Start

As you may remember, DragTimes has raced the Tesla Model S P100D with Ludicrous against the McLaren 720S, and surprising to many people, the Tesla was not the winner. DragTimes' host Brooks Weisblat owned both cars, and he raced them on multiple occasions. 

Fast forward to the present, Brooks still owns the McLaren 720S and he's now also the proud owner of a Model S Plaid. In the recent video above, DragTimes heads to the Palm Beach International Raceway to run one final test and tune before the track closes. Brooks says the track owners are trying to sell it, though it was unable to be rezoned. For now, the track will be closed until an upcoming hearing in September.

At any rate, the races of the day included the tri-motor all-wheel-drive Model S Plaid – which Tesla says can pull off a zero-to-60-mph sprint in just 1.99 seconds – versus a Dodge Demon, a Hayabusa bike, and, of course, a McLaren 720S.
