The Tesla is a 10.5 second/125 mph car without drag radials. Sure it doesn't do the 'Ring, but it's likely none of us will either.

Keep in mind that these Tesla #s are from a 4 door sedan who's primary purpose is not that of a ZL1, Hellcat, Z06, etc. I am personally not interested in an electric hot rod but fully understand that this is clearly the architecture of mainline performance vehicles in the not so distant future. Torque is what makes a performance car fun to drive and the electrics deliver steaming piles of it in instantaneous fashion.
