Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray vs Tesla Model 3 Performance

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray is the quicker car, covering it in 11.43 s at 121.0 mph against the Tesla Model 3 Performance’s 11.79 s — a margin of 0.36 s. To 60 mph the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray takes 3.13 s and the Tesla Model 3 Performance 3.30 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray or the Tesla Model 3 Performance faster?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.43 s to the Tesla Model 3 Performance's 11.79 s, a margin of 0.36 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.13 s against 3.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray reaches 60 mph in 3.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.43 s at 121.0 mph.
What is the Tesla Model 3 Performance 0-60 time?
The Tesla Model 3 Performance reaches 60 mph in 3.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.79 s at 116.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray trips the lights at 121.0 mph and the Tesla Model 3 Performance at 116.0 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 11 for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray and 8 of 10 for the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
