Drag Race: Cyberbeast v. Audi RSQ8 and RS7 [Carwow!]

[Bridgeboy69]

Someone needs to put Street Legal “Slicks” on the CyberBeast and run the 1/4 Mile.

Probably tire and surface dependent too. I'd be willing to bet with actual H rated (or better?) road tires it could squeak a little better out of it.

Well, maybe, but I dunno. When I launch on what I consider "normal" asphaltic concrete pavement, with my stock AT tires, there is no tires squeeling...no slippage, and if there isn't slippage, then there is no loss of power being trasmitted to the surface. It is all going toward acceleration.

Slicks only work to provide more surface area contact to avoid slippage....but that is already not happening, so I'm not sure if they would add any meaningful benefit...

Good point.
As the ATs have worn down I do get a little more chirping but yeah when they were newer there wasn't anything.

Well I guess I’m going to take the contrarian side of this debate. Elon said himself the computers controlling slip are operating so fast adjusting torque so quickly, we can’t even feel or see or hear it happening but rest assured the torque is being adjusted to eliminate slip regardless of the tires.

That is why I will take the mechanical advantage of stickier larger contact patch so the computers can deliver as much Torque as possible before the tires start to slip.

I bet with slicks the CB knocks another .1 or .2 off the 0-60 time.

What we need is a drag box like the Challenger Demon.

Interesting point. The computers could be reducing power to avoid slip, but in tires that would take more power before they slip, then the computers would recognize that and deliver more power...
