YouTube channel 7zerex focuses mostly on high displacement and noisy engines, but this week, they take a different turn. In their latest video, a Tesla Model 3<\/a> takes on a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Judging by the video footage, the GT500 also seems to be slightly modified, along with sporting some slick tires.<\/p>\n

There is also no info on the Tesla Model 3, so it’s unclear whether this is the Performance version or the standard one.<\/p>\n

Despite having all the torque available at 0 RPM, the Tesla Model 3 gets a serious competitor in the Mustang. The GT500 is still one of the fastest Fords ever, powered by\u00a0a supercharged V8 engine that’s mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

It makes 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque. It also comes with a race-inspired chassis and suspension. The GT500 carries a starting price of about $74,000. It’ll rocket you from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and tackle a quarter-mile run in under 11 seconds.<\/p>\n

The Tesla Model 3 Performance is quite quick as well. The official 0 to 60 mph time is rated at 3.2 seconds and the quarter mile at 11.1 seconds.<\/p>\n

Based on these numbers, these two cars seem very evenly matched, but let’s take a look at the video below.<\/p>\n
