If they did that, the Wright would be slower than now. Electric rules supreme!

That's because jet engines are based on thrust — they don't drive the wheels, which is why it takes them a while to build up speed…like a real plane.

It's the same thing as when they race a Viper against a 50,000hp F16. The Viper wins the 1/8 and 1/4, and after that, the Viper gets its shit ruined since it can't go 1500mph.
Jet engines don't work the same way as regular engines. The jet Beetle would continue to accelerate to over 250mph, whereas the Wrightspeed tops out at 112.
