I dunno 'bout that one.
400m in 13 secs...that's a little better than 60mph.
Ferrari should take about 4 secs.
Must be My Mom driving.....Little slow of the line mom!

I couldn't see the Christmas Tree, however assuming it wasn't a false start, the driver of the Suzuki had the Ferrari's driver cold off the line.
I'd need to see the specs on both cars in order to see what the HP:Weight on each car would be, however, the Ferrari undoubtedly weighs more than the Suzuki (Heck, the engine probably weighs as much as the little car).
Now, lets have a road race between the two cars and see who wins over a 15-mile road course...my guess the driver who takes out the red-head will be sipping his second capucino when the little roller skate comes across the finish line.

Electric engines have a better power curve for low end acceleration.
Nice demonstration of that.

Having rode on the subways all my life, I can see how that's true. The Ferrari almost made a false start and I think it set him back a 1/2 second or so.
