Great. His Datsun can do 0 to 60 in 2.95 sec. My stock Vette will do it in 4.3. But can he turn around and do it again without causing a brown out with all the amps required to recharge?
I think not. I was a tech for a large newspaper a decade ago and worked with some pretty impressive DC motors. Lots of torque, big horsepower, but they needed A LOT OF JUICE.
If you are storing the power on-board, it will be gone in those few, albeit fast seconds. Then what? Have everyone stand around for 6 hours while you recharge? The Vette will continue to do the quarter in the low 12′s, one run after the other. This turd wagon will have to beg off. Definitely not sustainable.
From The Oregonian:
It’s a 1972 Datsun called “White Zombie,” and it’s one of the fastest street legal electric cars in the world. It’s been clocked doing zero to 60 mph in 2.95 seconds. It’s walloped Corvettes, Camaros and 600-horsepower Vipers in quarter-mile drag races using lead-acid batteries.
Fortunately, my corner market is only two blocks away.
There and back in a flash!
This is an obvious “must have” for me!

You will be back before you left! I knew the Flux Capaciter would work!
