Re: Why are V8's so slow?

As a serious answer to your question in a nutshell....
Assuming both drivers are equal in drag racing ability, and both cars can lay down the rubber equally with traction....
The car that can generate the most torque at the lowest RPM will get off the line first in most cases.
After a distance.... Horsepower eventually takes over and wins.
Barra Turbo > High torque at a lower RPM
Ford V8 > High torque usually higher in the RPM range
Tesla > Maximum torque from the start
