So wait, a tuned car on drag radials and E85 is faster than an M3P?!? No way!!!If that's your basis, you're wrong. These calculators are generic and don't take into account the real power and torque curves that electric vehicles have.
Also it's clear you've never rolled race before. When I had my Hellcat it was always etiquette for 60 rolls to go up 140 or even 160. That was the point of 60 rolls, to take away traction issues from digs and 20. Considering high HP cars trap way more than 120 (mine trapped 140 modded) it's absurd to just stop at 120, that would be just a couple of seconds. 40 rolls were the main standard but even then we never stopped at 120.
In every single race on youtube the Tesla Model 3 P gets destroyed at 60 rolls and it becomes a slaughter after 120. The tesla always has the instant jump because of instant torque, but then seconds later gets walked hard.
I also have my own experience coming from a 10 speed automatic Mustang GT that just had an E85 tune and headers, and let me tell you I always drove on the street with street drag radials and hitting the gas pedal from 60 snapped my head back harder than my current Model 3 performance does (of course the opposite was true from a redlight lol).
And. 700+HP Hellcat is faster than a 500HP M3P?? No way!!

The amount of time people spend setting up scenarios where high-HP RWD cars DON’T lose races to stock EVs is the truly funny part.
