I'll stick with the old gas guzzling muscle cars!

It is fast as all hell for being electric. I have to have the noise of a big block with a nice sound. I guess you could use a recording of a big block?? naa, need the real thing.

I don't understand how it is environmentally "correct".
What happens to the old batts? the lead acid ones can be recycled to an extent but the lithium ions go to a land fill (not to mention the strip mining to get the material in the first place). Where does the power come from? There is water pollution from the dams, natural gas and coal power plants pollute the air, and nuclear pollute as well. I don't understand how this is any better for the environment??????:no::no::no::no::no::no:

It is cool to have something different but 11.5 isn't all that fast. And yes I understand about the instant torque.

See....there's the problem. You just aren't wearing BLINDERS like the environazis that think we should all drive electric because it will fix everything.

screw that ,it dont go rumpity rumpity rumpity

Also I forgot my '68 Newport is more environmentally friendly then a prius. I am recycling a car not manufacturing a new car and discarding an old one. Yes it is pure big block but it is well tuned and maintained so it stays in good running order, it does pollute but what happens in 3-8 years when the batts go out on a prius and it costs more to replace them then the car is worth??? The lithium Ions like I said before are sent to a LAND FILL. How is a prius better then say a new challenger? yes it uses less gas now but I bet it's total "carbon foot print" is higher.

Al Gore would give this guy a medal. I'm really tired of shoveling all this global warming in my driveway! :rolling:

How many batteries do I need to power a 1964 Chrysler Imperial.350 or 462?
LOL Jim

...............There was a pretty good thread at FABO on an electric Duster.............It's interesting to see this develop, regardless of what your personal tastes are.

I'm fascinated by the tech...........:grin:

LMAO! I'm tired of shoveling too!

 

[oiiiiiio]

Electric dragracing??? Shocking!

 

[Wagondoors]

I'd like to know the 60 ft. times, that thing leaves!

I don't care about the political bs / tree huggers / global warming / :blahblah::blahblah: end of it.
The guy built it in his garage and it's flat out cool! I dig it.

But its not very fast at 11.5

Your car is faster? And a daily street driver?

My point of this thread was not to criticize the guy for doing what he did....I like it....shows thinking outside the box....wonder if you could do better....show us what you built in your garage and will it go faster than 11.5?

 

[Wagondoors]

Yeah sure, it's a real pooch. The guy should be ashamed, eh?

Good grief.....................:sFun_doh2:

 

[66_B_Body4ever]

One word...boring...where's the drama and excitement in that? At least a rocket or jet car makes the earth shake a little! We need the Good Vibrations!

The excitement is watching the faces and remarks by BMW & Corvette owners after they got beat by the Energizer Bunny :rolling:
