A Tesla P85 can either match or beat the new C7 Vette in a 1/4 race. Drag times has a video. The Tesla "only" does a 110 mph trap speed, but the et is 12 flat. The C7 is like 114 mph, but the trap is like 12.6 or something.

It's all about torque from the start. That's why the new turbo charged BMWs, Audis got such fast e.t.s. They got full torque from 1800 rpm.

My friend's got the regular 85, but it's plenty fast and got scary torque. It's like GT-R level torque.
