Reminds me of the Tesla electric car built in Silicon valley. prototype did 0-60 in under 4 seconds and looked good doing it.

Pretty impressive! I need to hear some exhaust though. The power experience is not the same without the earth shaking exhaust noise. Unfortunately, electric drag racing is in the future and I'm not looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong.....the technology is awesome but it's just not the same.

Can hook up a sweet system and play audio clips of old school drag racing.

I'd have to look up the numbers but using lap top batteries ends up being alot more expensive than gasoline. Either way that is pretty bad ***, though!

You can hear the tires hop since the lack of engine being sooo quiet.
That would be great for cop trolling!!
