Project X Now A EV

Ddaddy said

Well, if the Project X turning to electric bothers you, you will probably like this even less.

1972 Plymouth Satellite electrified with 600 hp, balanced to 50/50 weight distribution by battery placement and goes 0-6 mph in 4 secs. It goes 250 miles on a charge.

I think it’s cool.

BTW, that’s not a radiator in the front...it’s the condenser for the AC adapted battery cooling system to help provide maximum efficiency and power.

That's a serious build and I like that. I believe what upsets those that don't like what they've done to Project X, including me it that it started out as a test bed for all things hot rod and internal combustion. It was never built, nor designed as some modern take on hot rodding complete with cancel culture EV power. They just decided to go "the other way" with it and it pissed a lot of people off.

I agree with whoever talked about the new Chevy 632 crate engine. I would have fully endorsed that.

OR, they could have done another complete sister built to Project X and called it Project Y? Or something different. They pretty much had to almost build another car anyway. No, I'm not upset about what they did to Project X, but rather what they took away.
