Overview
Welcome to the Throttle House track series! In this episode, we have an exciting drag race between two powerful four-door American sedans: the Dodge Charger Hellcat and the Tesla Model 3 Performance. These cars represent two different identities, but which one will come out on top? Let’s find out!
About the Drag Race
The drag race takes place at the Throttle House test track, where James and Thomas push these cars to their limits. The goal is to determine which car is faster and more powerful. Both the Dodge Charger Hellcat and the Tesla Model 3 Performance have their own unique features and specifications that make them formidable contenders in this race.
Introduction to the Cars
The Dodge Charger Hellcat is a sledgehammer of a car, boasting 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its 6.2-liter V8 engine with a supercharger. It’s rear-wheel drive and comes with tires that may not offer optimal grip on the road. However, its bold gomango color and raw power make it a force to be reckoned with.
On the other hand, the Tesla Model 3 Performance is a clean and green four-door family sedan that is quietly shaking up the automotive world. It may not have the same horsepower as the Charger Hellcat, but it compensates with instant torque and all-wheel drive. With its impressive acceleration and track performance, it’s an EV killer in its own right.
The Dodge Charger Hellcat
Specifications
The Dodge Charger Hellcat boasts a 6.2-liter V8 engine with a supercharger, delivering a whopping 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. It’s rear-wheel drive and weighs over 4,000 pounds, making it a heavy but powerful contender in this drag race.
Performance
With its massive power output, the Charger Hellcat is a force to be reckoned with on the drag strip. It may struggle with traction due to its rear-wheel drive and less-than-ideal tires for street conditions, but its raw power ensures that it can hold its own in a straight line.
Challenges
The Charger Hellcat faces challenges in this drag race, particularly with traction off the line. However, with practice launches and adjustments to the suspension, it aims to make the most of its power and give the Tesla Model 3 Performance a run for its money.
The Tesla Model 3 Performance
Specifications
The Tesla Model 3 Performance may not have the same horsepower as the Charger Hellcat, but it utilizes an electric motor to deliver quick and instant torque. It’s equipped with all-wheel drive, making it ideal for putting power down on the road.
Performance
The Model 3 Performance is known for its impressive acceleration and track performance. With around 471 pound-feet of torque and a recent update increasing its speed, it’s a rocket on wheels. Its all-wheel drive and electric motor give it an advantage over the Charger Hellcat, especially in terms of traction.
Advantages
The Tesla Model 3 Performance has the advantage of instant torque and all-wheel drive, allowing it to launch off the line with exceptional speed. Its electric powertrain ensures that it can maintain consistent performance without any drop-off, giving it a competitive edge in this drag race.
Drag Race Results
The Standing Start
In the standing start, the Charger Hellcat puts up a good fight, but ultimately, the Tesla Model 3 Performance proves to be too quick off the line. With its instant torque and all-wheel drive, the Model 3 leaves the Hellcat in the dust, showcasing its superior acceleration.
Rolling Race
To give the Charger Hellcat a fair chance, a rolling race is conducted. Over a longer distance and allowing for higher speeds, the Charger has an opportunity to catch up. However, even with the advantage of a rolling start, the Charger falls short against the Model 3 Performance, which continues to pull ahead.
Conclusion
In this drag race between the Dodge Charger Hellcat and the Tesla Model 3 Performance, it’s clear that the electric powertrain and all-wheel drive of the Model 3 give it a significant advantage. While the Charger Hellcat showcases raw power and an intimidating presence, it struggles to keep up with the instant torque and consistent performance of the Model 3. Ultimately, the Model 3 Performance proves to be the faster and more powerful contender in this race.
