Electric car drag racer

[Thump553]

Set aside 10 minutes and give this video a watch, it was fascinating to me:

Electric Zombie

It's mostly about a 1972 Datsun converted to electric that blows away all comers at the dragstrip, but most of the way through is a brief glimpse of an electric motorcycle that does 0-60 in two seconds. Must be tough to hang on a rocket like that.

Cool video. I want one of my own.

More here about the A123 bike

I have some of those A123 cells as battery packs in RC planes

the sound that bike made...

and props to that guy, but his ego is the size of a hot air balloon.

It is, I agree, he really loves himself for making that car, quite pompous.

How dare he! /sarcasm

He may be pompous but at least he isn't totally stupid. After all, he had someone else drive that '72 Datsun at 100+ MPH. I watched that video a couple times just to get a chuckle out of that little skinny econobox smoking its tires and taking off like a bat out of hell.

BTW, where in the world did he find a '72 Datsun that wasn't completely rusted through? Certainly not here in New England.

Carsoup. Yes, I'm totally serious.
