First through the QM was the GT-R. However its trap speed was slower than the 2nd through 6th placers. I wonder how it launches so hard. The 3rd placer, the R8 is also AWD.

All I know is I took a ride in a friends last year on E85 tuned up into the 800hp range.
Absolutely bonkers. The launches were insane and it's the only time I've been in a car that rivaled the feeling of a 1000cc sport bike from 60-130+

I mean really: everything in that car was designed with the intent of putting power down and getting the car to stick as well as possible. That's why its so heavy.
Take a look at the drivetrain pictures from one of those bad boys. It will make sense
