"Electric cars in the minds of many are ponderous affairs, with short ranges and slow speeds. Glorified golf carts, really. That's not the case for Tesla's Model S Performance car, which scoots faster than Libby, and can even go toe to toe with more traditional modern American muscle cars.\r\n\r\nThe Dodge Viper SRT10 can hit 60 in under 5 seconds, and run the\u00A0quarter-mile in under 13, hitting that milestone at over 113 miles per hour. And the Tesla Model S Performance can\u00A0smoke\u00A0it in a drag race.\r\n\r\nThe below clip is submitted as evidence:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYes, we want one too.\r\n\r\nNow, to the caveats. It could be that the Tesla driver in this case was more skilled, or the Viper commander simply on a bad run. That said, the acceleration of the Tesla vehicle is little short of stunning.\r\n\r\nTop Image Credit:\u00A0randychiu"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
