Personally I own a Plaid as my daily driver (I have thought about doing a year in review post on here) and I can tell you, that in itself is blisteringly fast.
Of course, the guy riding the bike is probably the equivalent of an F1 driver, so if anyone is going to be able to drive the wheels off of the bike, it's him. Still, amazing stuff. I can't imagine a 10k clutch dump on a 200hp ducati. That's insane.

I've never been in a Tesla, much less a plaid.

I did once get a ride in this with Didier Theys driving. At the beginning, we got out on the first short straight and he goosed it. I felt the blood leave my feet/legs. It was a very interesting feeling. I can't imagine what a launch and accel in one of these modern 2-3 sec 0-60 cars is like.
