There is no fuss with launch control, even granny can stomp on the gas and hit 60 at 3.5s or less each and every time, and that's on all season tires. Slap on some sticky summer tires on them and the instant torque + grippy tire and its the perfect weapon. I saw a P100D destroy a superbike at the stoplight, it was something else

Because EVs are fucking awesome. Low center of gravity. Easy to achieve 50:50 weight balance. Instant torque. In the real world of driving, an EV will almost always be faster than an ICE. On a track, not so much, because on a track, well-driven ICE are always in their efficiency range. Not so much on the street.
