Answers:

Why didn't Yahoo! review and mention the Tesla Roadster?

Power to weight ratio is the secret weapon. Yours is about 11 pounds per HP, his is over 23 per HP. His mass takes longer to get moving than yours, however the top speed is going to be in his favor.
15.9 is not real fast in this day and age. My 6300 pound F350 Diesel will do 12.9 secs @108 mph. By the way my HP is 400 and my torque 1070. Thank you Banks Engineering!
My power to weight is right at 15.

I am 6 foot 4 and 300 lbs, what small to mid size car will i fit into?

It's pretty iffy if the car really weighs 3400 pounds, a type of car would be helpful, if your reading the "gross vehicle weight" from the door jamb its not the weight, its the maximum allowable weight. Keep in mind running a 15 in a car that has just enough power to run 15s is also relatively difficult. You can also try finding people with the same car and see what kinds of times they run. It takes a LOT of practice to run a car as fast as it can go in a drag race.
