I was referring to the 1.27.8 time of stock Plaid, which is faster than both M5 CS and M3 CSL. Now let's imagine Tesla will finally release their upgraded brakes option and adds some lightweight wheels with top-performing tires. I won't be surprised if Plaids will beat GT3 RS.

It is the same car Randy Pobst drove for Laguna EV record. This car is raced in the Unlimited class in Global Time Attack. Where it is slower than a Honda S2000, came in 5th actually. These cars are some of furthest things from stock vehicles you get. The comparison to a factory car is idiotic. The Dark Helmet is impressive for sure, but competing against other ICE competition it gets beat by 6sec a lap at Buttonwillow.
