Gas price rant, (what are you paying)???

Needsaresto.. a few years ago,, saw a drag race on TV, between, I think< a Porche, something else really stout,, and an electric... electric won, tremendous unending torque.. was awesome to watch..[/QUOTE]

YepI've seen a few electric powered drag vehicles,and I'm fair convinced they are a good idea,if you can keep em charged long enough. Battery weight is really limiting if you want to drag,so expensive lithium cells would have to be part of the design.

Not a budget minded project I'm thinking. At least the initial cash outlay would be fairly large,but then after that there are very few moving parts in an electric motor. Hard use may mean the batt's need replaced every season or maybe more,less depending.

I did see a silly electric drag car Top Gear T.V show made out of a Gee whiz. It beat a porsche,maybe the same thing you saw? They had to upgrade the motor and battery,tires etc.
