Plus while the 3 technically crossed the line first, it went 11.6 compared to the spinnin ain’t winning hellcat that went 11.3@140.
Also, the 3 was so underwhelming on the top end at 100+ that I thought he let off before the end of the run, but he didn’t, it’s just really slow above 100 mph.

Everything you said is 100% true. But how much time do any of us spend over 100 mph? Enough to make a purchase decision based on that parameter? At the end of the day, the whole point of running quarter mile tracks is to cross the line first. And the Model 3 P consistently does that better than the Hellcat. All the discussion of what happens after the light is tripped is just “what about…” and “yeah but…”. It did the job that was in front of it better than the other one.
Now. If it was a half mile track? Hellcat all day. But it wasn’t.
