If it was a Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor or Performance once you hit around 60-70mph you will blow right by them as they fall flat after 60mph or so. That is the penalty of the single gear. If it is a Model S Plaid just forget it because that car has a flat torque curve to about 150mph. But it will be the most boring 9 second 1/4 mile run you ever experience.
By the way, just came back from a drive myself and a Shelby GT350 pulled up next to me at about 70mph. He took off and I caught and passed him pretty easily. These ZL1s are beasts.

lol, yeah I am enjoying the 650 HP. What's weird is that the 450-ish HP I had in my SS Sedan (a few bolt-ons) felt a little quicker. I wonder if it's because the SS Sedan had just enough HP and weight to allow it to hook up a little easier. I would love to see an ICE with a bit linear HP/TQ curve like an electric, just to see how it would stack up against an EV. Of course, we all love peak HP/TQ numbers, but you still have to make use of all that power.
