An endurance drag racer. That is how we d define the 2019 Tesla Model S Raven sitting before us, which has covered 922 quarter-mile passes to date.

On the said occasion alone, the Model S battled no fewer than three competitors sporting the kind of setup mentioned above.
One of the fights saw the Tesla fighting a pre-2018 Ford Mustang GT sporting a ProCharger, with this involving two runs. And while the driver of the Tesla didn t notice the nitrous aiding that centrifugal supercharger on the first run, he could certainly feel the presence of the power adder.

After driving 200 miles (322 km) to the drag-racing venue, the owner lit up the rears for a total of seven passes. The best quarter-mile time and trap speed were 10.904 seconds at 124.55 miles per hour (200.4 kilometers per hour), which is very impressive for a base Corvette with aftermarket exhaust headers.
American Racing Headers, to be more precise, which are offered in two flavors. The 1-7/8-inch by 3-inch setup retails at $1,975 while 2 by 3 inches will set you back $2,075 including shipping. Made entirely of 304 stainless steel, these headers feature laser-cut flanges for a warp-free seal and TIG-welted inlets. The bolt-on upgrade unlocks as many as 37 more horsepower and 37 more pound-feet (50 Nm) of torque across the engine’s mid-range.
