If a top fuel dragster starts from a full stop at the starting line and you hit the starting line at 200 mph, he'll beat you 1320 feet to the finish.
Unless they radically change the gearing, F-1 cars aren't made for acceleration from a full stop. They make their power in the 14,000 to 18,000 rpm range.
