Tesla S vs Supercharged AP2
Was on a curvy ramp merging onto the highway when apparently I caught the eye of a new Tesla S model with tags. He must have seen me coming up behind him at 30mph. He slows down and I had to brake. Thats when i realized he wanted to run me.
So I let him get a 2 second head start and leave it in 3rd. I reel him in easily and by the time I hit 70mph I was passing him. I brake as he cuts me off for no reason (no cars around in a 4 lane hwy). I slow down and get in the next lane and see that he's trying to pick up speed again and not let me pass him. I shift to 4th at 80mph and pass him easily.
I start cruising at 79 and a few seconds later he does a fly by. I was trying to give him a thumbs up after all this but I guess he was a butt and too proud to look. The middle aged male driver with sunglasses had his nose in the air and forced himself to pretend I didn't exist as he passed me.
Anyway, thought I'd share my experience. The Tesla S makes about 416hp and is still a nice advancement in technology. ..an electric car making that much power is simply amazing. But Im still deeply in love with my sleeper S2k.

I'm actually on a one size smaller than stock pulley. I believe its a 4.0 only lol. At only 8psi now, I'm thinking I will drop to a 3.4 or 3.6 for some considerable gains.

Results may vary of course but it's on a DynoDynamics dyno, also known as the heartbreaker dyno because it gives lower readings than most if not all. I should also clarify that I'm planning to stick with my setup for a long while but once in a while I do wonder what 400whp feels like :-) The car feels perfect right now.
