Yea...ev needs its own class of drag racing. We get it....Electric motors have a ton of torque...but there is no reason to run them against combustion engines. Totally different sport. And combustion engines will always be more fun from a competitive side and from a spectator side.
@mattg9971. Apparently you don't drag race at an NHRA track. The NHRA created their own class a couple years ago with Summit Racing. New Street Legal EV class electrifies NHRA Summit Racing Series championship. NHRA's new Street Legal EV class will make its championship debut at the NHRA Summit Racing Series National Championships at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Just to give an idea of the power of these electrics. I recall back about 30-35 yrs ago when it was almost all private citizens doing this (to include the autonomous driving course challenges). There was this one country dude with an Anglia I believe, who tried using a direct drive system with 10" wide massive blower belts, I believe he had 4 on the axle...he absolutely shredded the belts. I believe the tires made a quick 1/5 of a rotation and coasted forward. I don't recall if he was using a standard trans? But this guy was pretty much the pioneer for electric drag racing.
Cool from the Tech side but the sound of the ICE Engine just ignites the soul. It’s something the EV WILL NEVER HAVE!!! Also the Jetson’s hover craft sounds more exciting than this ev!😂
This will be as fun to drive but not as fun to watch as combustion alternatives. Essentially, the ev and combustion variants feel similar in operation and acceleration. Im assuming they have similar clutch configurations.
All these sensitive guys commenting need their engine sound to pacify them 😂 Awesome job Ford! Love seeing Ford evolve and hold its place in the constant evolution of automobiles.
Give your balls a tug, dudes are building faster ice cars under a shade tree, this is taking the top engineers in the world to finally get an EV in the 7's.
There is no denying the performance from an EV but the only people enjoying a EV going done the tract is the driver. No one wants a microwave burger but, it's faster than a grilled one.
You'd think, but suburgatory dwellers would still find a way...the Karen's would say: oh, the tires burning out make too much noise. Or send too much rubber in the air. The spectators make the roads too crowded when there's an event.
Exactly. Ok, I get it , going fast is the main goal. But you need sth else in the equation. Sound. Because it is a 'game' of senses. That's why internal combustion engines will always be top in peoples hearts....!
I call jealousy on this one. If this car is boring just because it is electric, then all electric-powered vehicles must be boring including electric RC cars, drones, trains, etc.
FORD killing it with v8s v6s v4s and electric motors 💯💯💯👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Ford is legendary
@Tron-Jockey yes the turbo eco boast motors in fusions and focus and 1 mustang that puts out 330HP for a V4
@@johnnymartinez733 ... I4. There has not been a production V4 in a car for 30 years.
That's flying! Solidly in the 7s. I wonder how long that record will stand.

There is one ? Yall just like talking to talm
This car wouldn't even be competitive in the late 60's, that's how far electric is behind.
@@Joe69 huh ?
@@Sleepingcoffee979 In the late 60's you had to be in the 6s to be competitive drag racing.
Jeez look at the torque on those tires;)

Just so yall can drive into crowds of people lol!
Ford power
so what does the "1800" represent actually?
hp
electric powered cars are the equivalent to unsweet tea!

Long live the king,, Cobra 🐍 Jet!!
FORD FTW
It took decades to get drag cars under 9 seconds, much less 8 seconds.
It will just never be exciting. Electric is impressive but so boring. I don’t care how fast it goes.
lol you wouldn’t say that if you were driving
I like hearing this from people who probably drive a 2008 Honda and don't drive seriously at all
@Sleepingcoffee979 I fill you man , my cars have more than four cylinders and a big turbo. I'd still like to drive that big tire EV a few times 😊
Like if you ever going to own a ev 😂😂
Agreed 👍
How much does it weigh?
Sweet!
Combustion engine for EVER !
you misspelled a couple more years
Batteries are for flashlights
If they used a super capacitor it would still work but would be more expensive so batteries make a good balance.
She said they're for B.O.B.
it's better to just know stuff cuz that way you don't have to learn anything new...
She says for B.O.B.'s
Yeah and whether we like it or not to make cars go fast.
The first 8 sec Q.M. vacuum cleaner...
with s550 chassis
Doesn't matter how fast it goes, it just has no soul 😢.
As cool as the power is I could not ever imagine watching an EV racing
We could have ev tracks closer to populated areas than in the boonies tho

Matters not if its faster. Sound is key.
Hmmm, funny how people who drag race literally never say that and always say they want to go faster.
@@leofhr2966 hmm cry much sissy😅🤣😂
@@leofhr2966yup these elitists are inhaling copious amounts of copium these days.
haha you funny...
Nope not interested change tha SCJ name please
Le même moteur dans une mustang de série ça serait merveilleux hiper muscle car rivaliser avec chiron
Also as someone who met carol shelby when he was still with us...hed be disgusted with the cobra brand being on an ev
It would be faster
Why does you meeting Shelby mean anything ? Like what
@Sleepingcoffee979 I like he clarified he met him when he was still with us, what other time would he have met him😅
@devilsson6660 lol exactly. Dude is talking like he was his best friend when in reality he probably met him at a Ford event or something
🤣🤣🤣
Electric cars might be faster, but don't make grown men visibly shaken from the noise

Nitro was king… not anymore though!
Get rid of the DIFF and hook the motor directly to the wheels.
Build the diff into the motor and eliminate that drag.
Shelby rolling in his grave
Electric? Don't go there unless you want the company to go bankrupt.
Ce n'est pas un record à couper le souffle. Ce véhicule est vraiment très laid, les américains n'ont rien compris au design moderne. 😂😅
all electric vehicles are GARBAGE

I love Ford but Ev 👎🏾!! I’ll walk before I buy a ev
Wow, I didn't know they had extension cords long enough to go a 1/4 mile.............
What does this even mean

Think hard, you can figure it out.
@robertwood3970 no I understand what ur trying to say it's just dumb

Underwhelming.
No V8? pfff bye, bad road Ford.
Zero aerodynamics spoilers for the front !?no wonder your car is lifting the front dummies!
You definitely know more than these engineers right ! You must make your own cars to have such input
