Numbers are irrelevant anyway. What maters is what's fast on the track first.

I did, and I haven't seen more than 50A continuously (for less than five seconds).

Draw spikes are one things, continuous current is another. How long is that spike? 1/100 second? 1/1000 s? You need to quantify it somehow.

I challenge you to show us a data log from those cars that allegedly dumped a pack in 3 minutes.
