Vaporwear. You mean like underwear? Or is it misspelled?
An EV will win almost any drag race, so what’s the point?
Now try racing the same two cars from one American city to another (so long as it isn’t Minneapolis to St. Paul, or Dallas to Fort Worth) and the ICE will literally blow the EV away.

PS: It is “VaporWARE“, not “wear.”
Yes the current Mopar SRT cars are heavy.
This excess bulk is what limits them to being good/excellent cars versus legendary ones.
No tire smoke or noise from that Hemi-powered car?
All, the joy of having all your torque at once. Of course as Chuck has pointed out you get 3-4 passes and then have to charge it for quite some time.
I love the fact that a Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Sonata are clearly visible in this MOPAR competition.
I liked vaporwear better. As in, where oh where has my vaporwear gone…?
Now let’s see an endurance race between them.
Still Dodge EV beats Tesla and it’s more likely to be produced in decent numbers
If you listen closely to the end of the video you can hear the Challenger let off right after shifting as well as one of the guys at the finish line calling the driver out on it.
But what it doesn’t show is the EV needing to be plugged in immediately afterwards as 2 drag races drained its non-viable Li-Ion battery (or it caught fire).
Why does that Dodge EV look like a Lotus Europa ? Is nobody allowed to build an EV without a Lotus body shell ?
The EV looks better too.
Is that the v6 challenger? It looks so slow. I can’t believe it was driven any where near its limit.
Do they even make manual transmission Challengers? I know Richard Hammond on last weeks’ Top Gear used an automatic, hence why he couldn’t do burnouts.
“ahhhgg, you let it off!”
I’d rather have the White Zombie.
My imaginary friend and I had a contest to see who could design a flying car that was as big as an Escalade and could get a 1000 mpg, but he won.
Electric power makes sense for the muscle cars of the very distant future. Tons of torque, at ZERO RPM, and the motor and batteries probably weighs as much as an all-iron tremendous-block crate engine, and the motors can deliver tremendous power over a short period of time, but it practically depletes the batteries. Not to mention the precious tenths used shifting in a gas car aren’t a problem for an electric. In short, they make an ideal drag car, and are probably easier to tune, that is, if the racer is good at programming.
