Does anyone choose a performance car for 1/4 mile ET only? (Hellcat/Demon drivers excepted)

They should test both ET and lap time and combine the results for an overall winner.
Do a slick video of each car running a lap alone and then make a video displaying where each turns or stops and accelerates best.

These tests are not conclusive, this video only shows 1/3 of the performance capabilities of these cars.
Until that happens I can only drive some of them on my iracing sim to judge.
With these ET results will iracing soon offer a Tesla or a Lucid?
They often, or at least, in the past, did do accel runs as well as laps, and maybe even braking back when Camissa, Pobst, etc... were making nearly identical vids for MotorTrend. I don't know if they/Haggery still do that or not. It's probably a lot more expensive to do laps (insurance, etc...) so they may skip it. And while a full review would be better, I'll still click these sorts of videos.
