11.5's in an electric car? Watch video
 

This is pretty damn cool. The video is long, but it is well worth watching.

Agreed but i know we all have strictly drag cars is that what this is what is the overall distance that it can travel without being recharged. Not bashing just curious.

Very DC cool !

Too bad you guys don't live out here on the "best" coast... I get to see this car run all the time -- it's WAY KOOL...
:cheers:

I agree it is not practical, he recharges after every run, but pretty damn fast! The instant torque would be the best!

I find this very interesting but I have some reservations about his non-pollution claims. Would it not depend on how the electricity to recharge your car is produced ?

If you recharge your battery from a coal fired power plant, how can you claim your "electric" car does not pollute ?

And if your plant is oil fired, it's probably foreign oil. And we all know about nuclear as well ........

And of course, if your battery ends up in a Chinese or Indian "recycling center", does that count as pollution if it is in another country ?

But you gotta love that torque ....

The manufacturing of the batteries itself is a huge mess. That is why Subaru has not joined the Hybrid club. And when those batteries are done they NEVER go away.
Don't get me werong, I am not a bunny hugger, but those batteries are nasty for the environment from start to finish. All those Prius owners have no idea they are actually making things worse.
