As you expected? We never mentioned the track so yes of course it was about straight line captain obvious.

Sir please do take the time and show me where EV dominates in any unlimited drag race vs ICE? From top fuel drag racing to the draggy boards, ALL of the top spots are dominated by ICE with no EV's to be found.

Sure you can cherry pick the 8-9 second range but where are the 4, 5 & 6 second 1/4 mile EV's? Home built 6 & 7second ICE cars are common in drag racing now that will destroy the Rimac at a fraction of the price.

Will 6 second EV'seventually happen? Absolutely, just a matter of time. Just as adding an electric motor to the drive shaft and a mini battery pack to the 6 second ICE now takes it to 5 or lower.

Hybrid is the future for drag racing my friend, EV only will never dominate that is the fact.
