Highly doubt it......

They have a Tesla showroom in the mall near me. Their SUV not sports car or sedan but their SUV can do 0-60 in 2.4 seconds!!!!

Extremely fast vehicles...and seems like everyone who drives one is heavy on the pedal from light to light...feel fairly certain I can run with a sedan...

electric motors are instant on, no way any HD with a tiny tire could match them, I have an aston-martin DB9, with just under 600HP (the book says 0-60 in 4.3 sec) that only weighs about 3,000 lbs and can't beat one, but I guarantee you it sounds better!!

All I will say is "good luck" when it comes to outrunning a Tesla. If you've got the power to weight ratio to beat one, you'll never get it to the ground like they do. Never in my life have I felt the acceleration off the line that those cars get and my Mustang can pull the front wheels at the track. I thought it hit hard. The Tesla accelerated faster on a bare street. No drama, no wheel spin, no noise, just gone. This was in a P100D, btw.

Dart 400 little over 500hp Hughs Racing 1sp Powerglide Trans,300 tire..yes that’s me on Daytona Main Street and yes it’s Fast and your right my Ultra Limited would not have a chance...V8 Choppers makes a 427 Dart all aluminum Racing Engine Chopper with 600++HP that absolutely would handle it...

Your DB9 is a great car..I’ve traded for a few over the years at a BMW store (car)

like the above guy said you will never get the power to the ground, I'm not a fan of them, but they are stupid fast, their prototype sports car is insane, 0-100 in 4.2 seconds. and thanks I love my DB, not the fastests by far, but just a classically beautiful car, and very rare.

here's a good video of their new car

Get this bike right here for a fraction of the cost, and it will smoke anything being discussed in this thread.
