I agree with you the xi should be able to have faster 1/4 times. Even though the xi is ~200 lbs heavier it has the advantage because it can launch harder due to the better traction (4 wheels vs 1 wheel). Plus, the 60/40 split and transitioning to RWD at 100mph takes aways some of the drivetrain loss as it picks up speed. However, over 100mph I think there is a disadvantage but by this time the 1/4 mile is almost over. Just my 0.02 cents.
