Watch A Tesla Model X Crush A 5.7-litre Camaro In A Tug Of War
In many ways it's just cruel to pit the mountain of mass and torque that is the Tesla Model X against an ordinary muscle car, but don't let that stop you watching
In what has to be one of the most predictable but still fascinating (ahem) drag races ever staged, two buddies decided to have a tug of war between their Chevrolet Camaro with a small block 350 engine… and a Tesla Model X.
It’s a bit like putting a baby sloth into a fight with a territorial male Silverback Gorilla. Like dropping Nemo into a small tank with a hungry piranha. There was only ever going to be one winner, but the way the Model X takes the strain effortlessly and then simply walks away with it is something.
We know the Model X is damn fast. Of course, as soon as one car starts spinning its wheels in these battles, it’s game over, but the Camaro… well, it never had the slightest chance. Brutal.

Two of the most hated things: EVs and AWD…
AWD+EV torque+more power vs. RWD+ICE+lesser power…
🆗
What a surprise.
Hmm, what does this remind me of…
I’d still choose the Camaro over the Model X.
Oh god it’s one of those strangled fuel crisis Shitmaros as well. Catalysed, detuned for unleaded fuel, lowered compression and primitive(read: terrible) throttle body injection (read: it’s half a fu cking carburettor with a single fuel injector) Why?
Instant smokescreen generator
I like them both (unpopular opinion)
Are you guys not aware that the 3rd gen Camaro is arguably one of the worst when it comes to power? The IROC-Z made 180 hp, itself. This battle isn’t a surprise.
AWD car built for 0-60 times vs RWD car built for affordeable power. Aint even close to fair. I want to see the Tesla go up against something like an Audi R8.
