New Tesla Roadster
As some of you know I am crazy about acceleration and super cars, I have 2 such and 5 others including my self built Cobra with a Ford Supercharged 5 liter coyote 1000+ HP beast that I love. I built it over 20 years ago and the current motor is the 6th and probably the final one that I will have in it.
I have been hearing about the upcoming Tesla Roadster that Musk says will beat any production car in acceleration and top end. Figures are 0-60 in 1.9 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 8.8 seconds with a top end of over 250mph. It has 3 electric motors and they combine to over 1000 newton Meters of torque which is ++700 foot pounds of torque. It will have a 600 mile range (based on going 70 mph)
I have contacted Tesla and ordered and paid in full for one of the early models, my # is 136 so some other nuts have had the same Idea. I will be sailing till Dec of 2019 but when it is delivered to the Porsche dealership in Barcelona I will have to fly in and drive it!! This car costs me 213,000 U$D (+VAT) including delivery to Spain, that is sooooooo much less than My Porsche 918 Spider and the McLaren Mercedes SLR that it is criminal. As for the Cobra I lost track a long time ago about it's cost but I am sure it is much more than the Tesla especially after I lost it in a cuurve at the Idiada track south of Madrid at 200 mph and destroyed 4 tires & wheels and 1 set of underwear.
You might ask can this maniac drive more than 1 car at a time and why is he doing this? I have to say that in Spain the police I have encountered don't care how fast you drive, I was stopped once while going 140 but the cops just wanted to look at the car, thanked me for stopping and we went our separate ways. They did ask how fast it would go and I told them the fastest I've had it up to is 210 mph, which is 330+ Km /hr. When they make a faster one I'll be in line early to buy it too-if I am still on this earth.
