P100D won? Not at all surprised.

Aero penalty on the 1LE pulled it down (possibly some shifting delay as well) because the A10 is worth 11.4 or better. Though, anyone thinking the 1LE was for straight line pulls is in the wrong car.

Not at all surprised where the GrandSport came in.. All that extra stuff on it, the eLSD won't help too terribly much on launch that LT1 and those tires. The Gen6 GS I had was very nice on a track, but you could tell it was in need of more power for straight pulls. Now that they've tossed all the extra aero and tire on it, it's even more noticeable.. Even with the more powerful LT1 and the better A8 trans.

One of the few things keeping ICE still in the game is the longevity of the batteries vs a gas tank. Once batteries in EVs can push 20m sessions and recharge quickly enough, it'll be a hard beat by an ICE car for sure.
