Then we'll start talking records.
Plus the fact that no one will care enough to watch (or sponsor) a quiet electric dragster.

We are witnessing electric vehicles breaking all sorts of records on land, sea and in the air.
I suspect you will not have to wait very long.

Electric motors produce 100% torque at zero RPM and this makes them quicker off the line compared to a piston-engined vehicle of the same power. Since Battery Technology has improved a great deal during the 1980s to present, the performance gap between piston-engined & electric-motor vehicles has narrowed.
