Most races are won 0 to 80. It's over. I can give a crap if a Demon needs a prepped surface and be rolling at 50 MPH to beat me. Does he also need to be wearing the right shoes as well? LoL!

Alright, I'm done. Out of my blood for good I have to admit though, that Black Ghost sounds really, really good, especially the sound of that Supercharger hum!

Model Y did better than I thought! Not bad for a family SUV against a 700 HP V8 monster family SUV!

Most races around you. Around me it’s usually a highway roll and in that race the Demon will walk a typical EV pretty easily, not even close. Again, the races you are talking about are in the EV advantage, you fail to show the races where the EV fails big time.

The only reason the Demon wins is the massive horse power advantage. Of course it's going to beat a 400 or 500 HP EV in a roll race. Put it in a roll race with a Plaid or equivalent HP EV and it loses. Also I'm not talking typical EV, which I agree. A Demon would walk my Polestar for example, but not a Model 3 Performance. At least it couldn't my friends

To be honest, I don’t see any car beating a Plaid in nearly any race including a roll on race unless it is highly modified. It would take a twin turbo Lambo or highly modified GTR to beat one and it would be way up in the high 100’s. Sad thing is I feel like I hit triple digits all the time but it’s usually highway rolls. I shouldn’t but I can’t help it.

I'm hear you man . Thankfully I don't do it much these days.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for cars like the Demon. But you gotta love that you own a car that will make most super cars look like they are sitting in traffic, and still get an average of 100 mpg. And you have to respect that a car like the Kia EV6 GT, upcoming Ioniq 5 N, Model 3P, and to some extent the Polestar can beat that beast off the line. Or at least give it a run for the money

If you drive a RX330 I promise nobody will ever want to race you. Haha

I can floor it at every light and nothing happens. Lol

Yeah, no Dodge Challengers ever notice me when I'm in my 2010 LX 570... Just the Tesla!
