2023 Restomod of the Year finalist
2020 C3 of the Year Winner - Modified
I want to know exactly how it's "zero" emissions?
I'm guessing w/ the small motor- He'll fill the engine bay up w/ batteries.
Well done - but you've got a heavy car there from the start.

Looks like he is making a Drag car..........the motor depending on how meny Batts......... can make over 800HP. Nothing like saying you were beat by an electric at a 1/4 mile track...........the shame telling you buds at the bar about that loss.

That's pretty interesting, if anyone finds a thread or a website documenting the build I'd like to follow it. It's not practical most likely, but neither is putting a blown big block in a car, just the other end of the spectrum I guess but interesting from an engineering perspective nonetheless.

Electrics are fast! Acceleration is instant! If it is anything like this drag bike it will be quite a ride!

There is no replacement for the sound of a v-8,but the future will not be slow!(What ever we come up with, some one will make it fast!)

Here's a guy who's been electric drag racing for a while- A Datsun 510
Best is like 11.4 ¼mile. But his car weighs in around 1800 w/ lithium ion and like 2600lbs w/ lead acid batteries.
