just watched a few videos of fast muscle cars.
Dodge Demon, Hellcat, Shelby Mustang. and a tesla beat every single car in a race.
the Shelby did the best against any car vs the tesla plaid in the 1/4 mile but how or why is the tesla so much faster than every car?
this was a tesla plaid but watched some videos of tesla s and that thang was fast, too.

Electric motors are able to deliver 100% of their rated torque right away and EVs don’t have transmissions. Well, the Porsche does, but it doesn’t really need it. So, while gasoline and diesel engines have to rev up to their max power band and then shift into a higher gear and go through that process again, an EV *can just keep going at 100%*.
It is why sometimes, if the race goes long enough, the supercars will hunt down the electric car because at some point the gasoline car will hit their final drive ration (top gear) and the engine will rev up until it makes all the possible power. At that time it comes down to which car has more horsepower.
