    A drag racer has a lot of equipment to help it keep the tires on the ground, like the rig behind the wheels that prevent it from simply making a somersault ending on the back. they also preheat the tires, to make the rubber like glue, and they have giant tires.

    This car has none of that, they are lucky if they can put 1000 HP to the asphalt on that car.

        But this is not about that. It’s about having the bigger number.

        It’s a question of bragging rights, not physics.

      This is an electric car so presumably the power is being delivered by all 4 wheels, not just the back 2

        Yes, that would add a little bit, but not much, as the car accelerates ir relieves pressure on the front wheels, so it only ads a couple hundred horsepower at most to use the front wheels too.
