it is cool, the guy that owns it sounds a little to me

 

We built a electric car at our high school, the shop teacher was always saying that an electric car could dominate at drags, the TQ you can get out teh engines is so great that if set up right with gearing ect it would be hard to beat

 

Weight's a bear, though.

 

with the old lead acid batteries ya but with the new generation of Lithium Ion batteries those thing can make some serious power, and weigh 2K pounds less than an ordinary car....

 

Engines are not light either, Diesels are not light and they run fast
