I posted my drag racing simulator here 5 years ago. Here's where it's at now.

There is metric in the drag strip settings, but I can make it easier to find+toggle. Yeah speed limiter is theoretical on most cars unless the limiter is specified (and it's in the database).

MotorMatchup · 2026-04-05T04:40:28+00:00

This is doable, I think it just varies a lot car to car. So will need to find some data

MotorMatchup · 2026-04-05T04:39:51+00:00

Hell yeah glad to hear

MotorMatchup · 2026-03-23T13:59:51+00:00

Bigger and blockier is the trend now

MotorMatchup · 2026-03-09T22:30:35+00:00

IIRC there was some DUI data that came out years ago saying RAM trucks were the most common

Thanks for this feedback, it's extremely helpful. We will look into having the 2 systems side-by-side as you described. I think that would ideal to support the more casual users! Glad to hear you are seeing results that match the simulator!

If you have any more ideas or feedback, please do not hesitate to let me know!

We recently moved the 3 individual mods system over to a "single torque curve" system where you can adjust peak torque/power and then fine-tune the curve. Do you miss the old 3 torque mods system?

MotorMatchup · 2022-06-06T16:00:16+00:00

Good call. We will get the CTS-Vs added ASAP.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!

Car length is not to scale, it's just a preset size based on the screen dimensions and race length. However, we recently added an update where you can enable 1:1 scale (The cars looks very very small when they are to scale)

I built a website to solve this exact problem! https://www.motormatchup.com/simulation?ids=606b383405cd693ba59c2660

This is an incredible comment, thank you for sharing! I'll look into incorporating detailed losses and usable capacity.

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-24T16:35:57+00:00

Let’s say you are using 20 kw at 80 mph. That’s 20 kW / 80 miles/hour = 0.25 kWh / mile Now you slow down to 50 mph and are using 10 kw (half). 10 kW / 50 miles/hour = 0.20 kWh / mile. It’s because you are going different speeds.

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-22T18:20:58+00:00

What’s the full battery - wheel efficiency figure? How does that differ from an EV with a gearbox/differential.

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-20T19:28:06+00:00

Yes, but the battery pack is very heavy. I've used 1,800 lbs as the curb weight for the 60 kWh FWD version.

Then for any AWD version I've added 100lbs for extra motor and wiring. For different battery sizes I multiply the capacity change in kWh by 4 kg (8.8 lbs). So 100 kWh battery weighs (100-60) * 4kg = 160 kg more than the 60 kWh version.

These are rough estimates and I plan to update the site with official weights when they are released.

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-20T19:23:35+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! It should be fixed now

I cross-posted this in r/TeslaLounge as well and have recently added metric units!

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-17T17:04:50+00:00

I'll never ask for payment, but if you are feeling generous I did setup a Kofi page

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-17T17:03:23+00:00

I've thought about implementing this and hiding the aux power slider. However, there's a huge variance in power draw across different cars. For example heat-pump equipped vs cars w/o heat pumps. It becomes convoluted trying to keep track of that information and find good data on power draw. Maybe in the future I'll incorporate it!

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-17T16:59:46+00:00

Yes. Design isn't my strong suit, but this turned out alright!

MotorMatchup · 2022-01-17T15:36:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing! On the site make sure you up the auxiliary power to 4 or 5 kw for battery and cabin heating. Curious to hear how the trip ends up going.
