Actually that's exactly how I've described Ms Peel and my other over torque craft, electric rheostat like response for digital traction break and make power connection to the surface. Until the fuel cells get right battery will be short lived.
Once one has power enough to instantly spin at will then horse power determines how fast ya can do that. So similar torque motors are essentially equal up to some speed their horse power runs out. In real life on Peel [in her prime] could match or even beat bigger bikes up to 90/upper 7000's in 2nd. This was in tight quarters with drop off or bluffs so had to re-focus on aim before I topped out to let off to set up next fling. Peel only had power band enough to lift front out of apexes in 1st and 2nd and felt like couple inches at end of 1/2 shifts in straights. My P!! with lowered nose would float level half way through 4th run out. i see the hot shots road racer hot bikes hi torque and horse power take off in both standing and rolling starts and none of them whip the pilots head back while mostly sitting upright. BY GOLLY A real dragster on standing or slow-ish rolling take offs will injure neck by real whiplash if not braced dam well first.
I get to practice or more often try to avoid torque advantage on THE Gravel.
I paid $3000 to Keith Code to see if THE Graveling methods had any relation to pavement to find its exactly the same once you get to loosing grip by lean and power or sharpness of forks. The real wonder was how childs play easy it was compared. Very few racers seem to know exactly when their tires will let go pressing turns. Not me No Sir Ree Bob! I pick my spots and force myself to over do it, time and time again until sense of conditions build up til its like shooting a sling shot reflexly knowing how far to pull it and when to release to impact when and where ya like quick as a blnk. Again long slides are not bike or tire or pilot testing it is load relieving but does take some balls just to go that fast so nailing it turns surface into liquid like skiing.
Three craft I've experienced that could whip lash neck BACKWARDS in turns, tunnel hull race boat, acrobatic military trainer and Ms Peel. I see race Karts can too.
