Drag Race: Tesla Model Y vs Sheriff's Explorer - gallery

The Jefferson County Sheriff in Morrison Colorado is no stranger to the drag strip

It has in fact previously taken on the likes of the might Nissan GT-R, a Shelby Mustang GT500 and even a Quad

There was nothing dramatic about this pass with the Cop car setting off in hot pursuit, while the Tesla managed its standing quarter of 12.93 seconds

But that wasn't all, the Explorer also took on a Chevy Camaro ZL1 in a bonus round

The Camaro of course is a proper thoroughbred American muscle car that packs a 6.2 L Supercharged V-8 under the hood that puts out 650 hp & 650 lb-ft of torque

All that performance helped it put down an impressive 1/4 mile time of 12.31 seconds

Now, these races might seem pointless, but it was staged in a bid to discourage illegal street racing and instead take it to the track. Swipe Up to Read More.
