I made a video during a test and tune of various cars starting at the autocross. Check it out:

Everything looked normal until the Tesla launched.  The silence is eerie.

That was fun to watch. I agree about the Tesla

The tire noise you hear from inside them while autocrossing is eerie.

I think the GTO was my favorite in this context.

It's my friend Patrick Highsmith's, who IIRC is at least a lurker on here. Great build and driver!

I don't trust anyone who AXes with the top up in the dry.

It was pouring like the Old Testament approximately 0.072 seconds before this run group started.

Preach brother.  My son and I drop the top even if it's raining.  The better sight lines are well worth getting wet.

I would frequently autocross with my s2000's top up on hot, sunny days. The comfort advantage should not be overlooked. Other than my helmet bumping the frame every now and then there were no disadvantages.

OK so this is shameless but here is a link to the onboard of my F500; the run starts at 2:25 but I think the launch is pretty rapid.
