That's no more of a "test" of a car as it is of the drivers' reaction times to an arms-waving start. Not scientific.

I have no doubt the AWD electroVette will beat an F8 to 60. The Ferrari isn't designed for that. I'd like to see a proper, instrumented, same driver for both cars (preferably two pro test drivers taking several runs in both cars, to remove driver talent from the equation) with two forms of timing equipment...like I've done literally a couple thousand times during my Motor Trend and racing team days.

And, do a proper 1/4 mile test. Top speed too.

Different story, then.

Finally, just for fun, let's do a total of 25 runs on each car. How's that tiny-battery electroVette doing by then?
