For very short periods of time they do. Bury your foot in the "throttle" for to long and the computer steps in and cuts the power back. Drag strip runs are ok. Car and Driver tried to get a lap time at VIR in one recently and they couldn't get a complete lap in without it cutting back....but it was fast when it went. Full throttle kills the range too........
