This is just wrong!!!

Ok I was crusing the web and found this vid, an electric car vs a 96 C4.
I cant make it out for sure but it sounds like an auto with 2.59's but it's still not right....

I guess the rice had better look out, cus the bug zappers are coming :lol:

Electric motors make peak torque from 0 rpm to however fast they can spin.

If you notice, the vette driver let him go first or wasn't paying attention. :skep: makes me wonder if it wasn't a set up, same with this vid:

Looks about right. Runs like hell for 10 seconds then it has to sit and charge for 16 hours. Batteries just don't yet have the energy density gas does.
