Since I posted the original video of Cybertruck towing 911 beating 911 in a drag race I feel the need to post the video from Jason at Engineering Explained detailing how Elon pulled a fast one (pun intended).

TLDW - The video details
  1. That the race was 1/8 mile, not 1/4 mile
  2. The time posted on the screen immediately after the race was not the timing of the race, it was the 1/4" time of the Cybertruck not towing anything
  3. The most likely 911 used was the 911 Carrera T, the lightest (easiest to tow) yet slowest 911 in the portfolio. Slowest because it's a manual, not a PDK

Jason then goes on to show that even under the best circumstance a Cybertruck towing a 911 can't beat a 911 in the quarter mile. It can beat some versions of 911 in the quarter if it's not towing anything.

Elon stretching the truth...whodathunkit?
