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.

If you look at the specs of an internal combustion engine, you’ll see that the maximum power is listed at a determined RPM. That’s because internal combustion engines have a [power band](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_band) meaning that they only get maximum power and torque at a certain RPM (revolutions per minute).
Electrical engines on the other hand have all power and torque available immediately.
The practical effect is that electrical cars shoot out much faster from the start because all power and torque is available, while internal combustion engines have to increase RPM to get to maximum power and torque.
