I'm pretty surprised to see the Tesla beaten on launch. I would not think there would be enough HP difference to make up for the instantaneous torque (but I am not an expert on this). I'd like to see a re-rematch knowing that the P85D had a full charge, good tires, and a clean start. I suspect the Hellcat would still win in the end, but I don't really believe it would win the launch.
That's a pretty damn impressive showing IMO. The cat gets the jumped and that gap just stays constant throught the drag. I can't remember the last time I've seen such a constant gap between cars throughout the drag.
the Hellcats have been breaking driveshafts after adding drag radials as well.... so yes, the Hellcat can win with the right numerous conditions, drag radials, prepped drag strip, low tires pressures, burnout, and crossing fingers not to break...
Any dedicated, souped-up high performance car that in all seriousness gets pitted against a 7 seater family sedan is already a laughing stock, regardless of the outcome of the race.
My exact same thoughts. A stock 7 seater family sedan pitted against the slightly modified big bad Hellcat only proves how much ICE technology has to do to catch up to a second generation EV. I wouldn't gloat about it if I was the owner. On the flipside, we should enjoy these precious moments, because we'll see less and less of this in the future.
