Tesla Roadster v White Zombie

Tom Saxton in his 2008 Tesla Roadster vs. White Zombie at the Wayland Invitational IV at PIR on July 25, 2009.

Results: Tesla 12.989 second 1/4 mile ET at 103.42 mph, White Zombie 12.468 second 1/4 mile ET at 102.11 mph. A slow run for White Zombie made this Tesla driver feel pretty cool keeping pace not too far behind White Zombie's amazing launch.

There was a Tango at the event in 2009 with an extra battery pack. It was fast enough to challenge a Roadster, not really a contender against White Zombie. By the way, the White Zombie is much faster now than it was in 2009. Last year, it did the quarter mile in 10.258 seconds, this year we expect to see it get under 10.

The most quiet drag race in history.

I DID NOT expect the Zombie to beat the Tesla. Impressive, what is even cooler is you can't hear a dang thing, impressively quiet race.

Now I'd like to see White Zombie vs a Tango. I hope White Zombie wins that, too. Tango's scare me :-)
