      A lot of ICE pulls against a Plaid (or any Tesla) looks like the Plaid jumps first - but in reality it is the IMMEDIATE reaction that electric give you. I have a Performance Tesla and a Porsche. After driving the Tesla I feel that the Porsche takes a second to get going.... I'm positive it isn't a second - probably a 1/4 of a second - but even then - it is full power until the revs are up.

    That RS is amazing, but the Acklies heel is the transmission when it comes to straight-line racing. I have the same problem with my SL-C. Until a DCT (C8Z?) transaxle can be adapted, the shifting lag is just a huge disadvantage that require a major power to weight advantage to overcome (and then traction becomes an issue). Sequential transaxles fix much of this, but they are VERY costly.

    As much as I think having a DCT or sequential trans would have helped, I still think the plaid probably would have pulled on it at speeds above 130mph regardless…at least until 164mph. The aggressive aero on the Ultima is surely adding a lot of drag at high speeds where as the Plaid has an ultra low Cd and a lot more power giving it a much better power to drag ratio despite having a worse power to weight ratio

Now it weights 2500 lbs. with a modified LS Chevy motor with 750HP....against a 4800+ lb. Plaid with 1020 HP...On paper the power to weight ratio strongly favors the KIT CAR.
