TL;DR: Porsche 911 wins everything, even the 1/8th mile… even the slowest Porsche 911 they could find.

That starts by racing against a 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T with a seven-speed manual transmission. This is the slowest new 911 you can buy today, but it’s hardly a dog. In prior MotorTrend tests, we’ve run the 379-hp stick-shift Carrera T to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and through the quarter mile in 12.2 seconds at 116.4 mph. Per our usual test procedures, we raced the 911 with a full tank of gas.

Elon lied.

    And what a dumb thing for Tesla to lie about. According to Motortrend’s own tests, Cybertruck would beat the Porsche without towing the other Porsche every time, but that wasn’t enough for Elon. Tesla could have even just chosen a lighter car to tow and it would have been an impressive feat, but no, the lie instead.
