It's a long video, but pretty interesting.

It's not a flashy car.............

The Datsun in the other lane is an impostor, it's camouflaged to look....ordinary.

IT'S GOT SPONSOR DECALS ALL OVER IT PEOPLE!!!!!!!! Ordinary and camouflaged if it were sitting beside a fallen billboard perhaps???

It's impressive to say the least and a neat project. 11's huh, hmmmm. 11's after I'm guessing what is now at least a quarter million dollar investment. A local guy around here has a late '70's Toyota Corolla with a tubro'd Mazda Wankel 13b running low 9's at probably $15,000 tops.

That's fast for an electric. His next mod should be a flux capacitor. Maybe then he could travel through time. :pounding table:

Thats awesome. Sounds like its only good for one run at a time though without having to be recharged. I wonder how long it would run on the street between charges.
