I wonder how many people have bought Aventurine Red based on your excellent pics. You probably single-handedly increased the G8x take rate of that color by 25%, lol.

I can't wait for the G87 and then cracking the ecu!!

These guys from my area here in NY have been pushing the G80 and have some great numbers so far and still pushing for more with stock turbos.

Stock turbos is possible to hit 9.5? I know we have seen f90s go 9.7-9.8 stock turbos (m5 cs did 9.6) didn’t think g80 can do 9.5 without a turbo upgrade.

It can but I believe it needs port injection.

I haven't been tracking it obviously, but I had no idea people were regularly in the 9s on stock turbos on this platform. That's incredible. Congrats to Mcc420 and everyone else doing this.

The Plaid just needs a downpipe and an exhaust

[Kevin_The_Clean1]

This is still impressive despite it being a Model X Plaid that had a relatively half SOC. No matter what, these X-drive G80 M3's are sick...

[pikcachu]

A bit confused.

So the accomplishment is beating a 5500lbs SUV by half a car ?

I just spit my beer out ... I do have a horn sir that plays La Cucaracha on my Plaid and I think this is every bit as good as my TFL Italy on the G80X.

the X plaid pulls on a 720s, so I would say yes this is an accomplishment.

Man, that hurts my soul.

(Stock IE no weight reduction) for some reason the Tesla Plaid channel guy, his car only traps in the 148 range. Also the 22" Arachnid wheels make a big difference for top end.

But it dips down into the low 140s with a charge below 50%. G80 stock motor with Femto/ BM3 on race gas, 143 trap. 145 with bigger turbos. So, the plaid would have to be in a low state of charge to get walked.

The plaid still does 120 in the 8th. The quickest g80 is like a 114. Low state of charge is all that makes sense.

And the Tesla is carrying an extra passenger

Besides the extra weight in the car, that just shows you how much of a difference 4/10ths of a seconds makes in the 1/4 mile. Seems to me, like the McLaren added some foo-foo juice, at the pump.

Yep, its just a big Eggmobile that holds a bunch of people with gullwing doors and is fast as fuck.

Its a rocket. I just think the 720S added something since the last race. The 720S was originally getting pulled on, like crazy. The 60-130 in the Plaid was 5.90. The 720S, way behind it, was probably a 6.2-6.3.

Fast forward to the Plaid being full of passengers. Now it runs the 6.38 60-130, but the 720S pulls hard on it? Eh, it seems like someone added something at the pump, to the 720.

You might be overcooking this--- 5 additional people at lets say 175 average weight as there were some women in there is a huge add on and can clearly account for the half a second slower 60 to 130. The Plaid motors overcomes what the LR never had, more continuous pull up top but as owner of the S Plaid I can tell you that weight plays a mitigant in speeds up top (past the 130) thus the 720 moving away past that segement.

I dont think it pulled hard either; having done many races on my life and then watching them on the camera, the gaps via video are optically much larger than real life. I remember these videos being posted back to back as I follow AG alot. Obviously no one can confirm if there was fuel bumps but I can see this happening for sure.
