  • exploding dinosaur juice. who needs it?

  • So we got the technology!!!? We been having the tech to go green but we just don't do it because gas is too good to let go. That's a bitch move. I feel bad every time I fill up my tank....

  • The first car I ever drove was an EV. The bumper cars at Seaside!! I remember putting "be taller" pads in my shoes...as you had to be "this tall" to ride!

  • I love it! Keep up the good work. It's to bad there are so many stupid comments in this log.

  • any 1 know where i can get a used ambulance?

  • where the hell is white zombie

  • EVs....I own a 2000 Ford Ranger EV NiMH....we were ahead of the game 10 years ago....politics of Bush ended that....now we are catching up with the Japanese...we are screwed! SAME BATTERIES FOR 10 YEARS..NO "RESEARCH NEEDED"

  • The real shame is that the crap that's been pushed onto the market (and has become synonymous with "Electric Vehicle") look like Grandma's refridgerator on wheels, have a whopping 40 mile range and go up to almost 35 mph. Why is that?

    At least Tesla has the right idea...

  • You can thank the oil companies for that. The other thing I don't understand is why the hell they make practical cars look like shit if they want people to get them?

  • No, he picked the dorkiest car he could to make a point.

    It's not about the sleek shape!

  • @fenderstratguy not true. The car was chosen because it's very light and RWD. Nothing slows a dragster down like weight does. He chose a reletively light weight car that would be easy to convert into a dragster.

  • @anthonyelectroc Actually it was Clinton that signed NAFTA you fucking moron.

  • @anthonyelectroc

    Only if we had do some Research and devlopment with Batteries instead of Gazoline and diesel engine. At the momment we would have a 100 kg battery capable to go up to 800 miles with a tope speed of 260 km and 0-60 miles in 2 second.

  • @anthonyelectroc

    If only instead of doing Research and development on Gazoline engine and diesel engine for over 100 year and invest all the money and time in batteris we would be able to do 800 miles, at 200m/h, with 0-60 in 3 second in a single charge with a 100 kg battery.

  • castrol ? LOLL

  • thats crazy i got to try that in a go kart lol

  • I've got an MGB GT 1967 that I would LOVE to convert. Even if it went a 10th of the speed of this beast, it would be a hell cool ride.

  • i want to convert my evo1 rs to electric would be cool.

  • i heard F1 is starting to mess with electric engines

  • this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have a 1989 honda civic, how much does a EV system cost? How much am I going to spend???

  • a cheap setup can run u 7 grand. A good one can be upwards of 17 grand

  • I want this EV system in my 1989 honda civic, I m tired of Big V8 trucks cutting me of! how much is it????

  • so how long do the batteries last(before needing recharged&replaced)? what does it take to charge them?how much did it cost at this point?ever do top speed test, what was it?questions questions questions.i'm gonna build one for the street!!!

  • Plasma boy is awesome.

  • EXPLODING DINOSAUR JUICE!!11

  • beats anything that Detroit has to offer currently

    proof we dont need GM nor detroit for an overpriced $45K Volt gasoline-electric car

    any backyard mechanic can make one

  • Wow! With a real car like 911 or something more aerodynamic + this electric motor, WOW! =)

    Maybe is the future for Ferrari and Lambo, too, no more 12V put a lot of batteries in it. And you save a lot of money in Gas to make this supercar

    !

  • you'd think its slow because you can't hear anything.

    but its actually fast cause you can't hear anything...cause its got an electric motor.

  • ::cough:: birdshit..

  • Not if you live next door to the track or the highway... and with the noise comes loads of exhaust going into your lungs. Mmmmmmm cancer and asthma! Enjoy.

  • don;t like it, move away from the track. People like you really piss me off. The track was put out in the middle of no where, then people moved in around it, and complain about the noise. They should grab everyone of those people, and stab them to death.

  • Pretty sure the V8 sounds a lot better....

  • Fuck!n awesome, electric HP that's epic. :D

  • a 70s DATSUN electric conversion kicks the ass of any American Muscle V8 ??

    this is beyond hilarious !!

    Detroit must be totally embarrased by this

    you can make all the noise you want ..but your done boy !

  • @emforty2 this is a privately owned vehicle, it in no means affects the auto industry until a manufacturer actually implements it in their car designs, this video is three years old and there is still no effect, so no, detroit feels nothing

  • @emforty2 Don't talk about my done boy. I don't talk about yours.

  • awesome

  • Inspiration! Thats what this is. Pure Awesome.

  • Oh yea, and only electric vehicles. Everything from more economically friendly to customers and less on the wallet with less performace.

  • I am actually learning how to make replica kit cars like lambo replicas and ferrari replicas. With that tipe of performance or better. Black lambo dead silent. only one name for that. sealth.

  • That's totally awesome dude, where did you get your batteries?

  • "no comment about battery"

    i feel its not your off the shelf component, have a look at the electric engine dude. its mad put simply. The bloke who made his engine has picks of what happened to his "engine" when he burnt it out.

    Go electric. This bloke has something which we all should have in the near future.

    go the electric motors!!!!!!!!!

    =0000>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  • It actually is, Its the cells from dewault drills.

  • Based on the AP video, this car puts out over 700 foot/pounds of torque off the line. I have to think that subtracting 600-700 pounds of batteries from the rear end would actually hurt your hole shot, even though it would obviously improve top end.

  • nope, weight on the wheels does not give better traction.Yes it might give more static traction, but at the expense of added inertia, and it is inertia that will try to hold the car in place while you accelerate, giving the need for better traction. take weight out and everything just works and goes faster....

  • since there is almost no weight on the front end since all the dead weight iron of the i.c.e. and tranny are gone the rear doesn't need weight for traction. the dead heavy weight if an engine and tranny is why a 2wd truck spins out on hard packed snow

  • Don't get me wrong on this one, I absolutely love internal combustion, If it where possile to save the life of the fossil fueled engine, I'd be happy, but lets face it, it's going the way of the horce&cart....and fast...

    I bet every ones grate granddads said exactly that...

    "just love that smell of horse urine and the clap of the whip, no why no GOD damn horseless cart will ever catch on.... "

  • I am so proud of ya'll.

  • LOL "exploding dinosaur juice".

    I'm in love with the white zombie

  • yup, it's true. "exploding dinosaur juice". that's exactly what it is.

  • Meh, petrol cars are for drama queens. This electric dragster does it's business and then at the end sits back and folds its arms like nothing happened. Whilst petrol acts tough and aggressive but all you get is hot air and lousy torque curves. Electric is coming out (again after 100 years of suppression), so obviously it won't beat petrol in regards to range currently (Duh!). But once we find a way with improving range, electric all the effing way!

  • Umm.. say that when the zombie eats a motor again, its a light show nobody forgets. Or the time john dropped a wrench intot eh battery pack and nearly burnt the car to the ground. Then there was the night the contactor welded itself shut and the throttle stuck wide open. The car went 400ft with the front tires locked up before the motor fuses popped. The tires were a total loss, flat spotted to the cords.

  • @neoartifact Not always.  It does on occasion send a few batteries up in a blaze, or blow the armeture off the motors in an event called a "flash over." An electric arc is a thread of plasma. Because plasma is matter with no electrons, electrons travel through it with little resistance, meaning, an arc is conductive. Once an arc starts in the motor, it "flashes over" as the entirety of the motor is converted to plasma.

  • woopty do, now drive across country like a gasoline car lol. electric will win when you can fill up in under 5 minutes and travel atleast 200 miles on a tank of gas :-P

    give me internal combustion... engines with sound and character mwahahaha

  • Just look at what has changed in laptop technology over the past 10 - 20 years. If the same R&D went into Electric cars it wouldn't be an issue.

    20 years ago people didn't even have Mobile Phones!!!!!

    The Gasoline car should have been obsolete 50 years ago. Why do we burn old dinosaur fossil fuel anyway? Think about it.

  • My electric toyota celica has 650 pounds of tourque and can do 280 miles to a charge with lithium polymer batterys :P

  • How come all the rice grinders are normally concerned about nothing but horsepower, but the V8 racers and EV racers are all concerned about torque?

    Horsepower sells cars, but torque wins races.

  • torqueXrpm/5252=hp. hp is the product of force(torque) and rpms which is potential work done. When someone says they have a torquey motor they should say they have lots of hp down low in the rpm band. Is hp at low rpms better than hp at high rpms is all about math. Having 500hp between 2k-3k is better than 500hp between 3k-4k. It's hard to explain and has a lot to do with gearing.

  • >woopty do, drive across country like a >gasoline car...fill up in under 5 minutes and >travel at least 200 miles on a tank of gas

    Try just going a few blocks in a gas car without spewing poisonous gasses and supporting foreign oil. EVs can already go over 200 miles with zero emissions. 'gas in the tank'? Youve been breathing your car's exhaust a little too long :-) Let's see a gas car run 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and an 11 second 1/4 mile at zero emissions while getting the equivalent of 150 mpg!

  • Is the motor/s brushless? How much does a motor like that cost? I race brushless electric cars and boats with lithium polymer batteries. I got a 1/10th scale car that'll do 70mph and a boat that'll do between 50 and 60mph so it's cool to see real cars with similar power sources. Do you have problems with all that instant torque breaking things like driveshafts?

  • the motor's are 2 8" series wound dc motors. i believe all he has done is rewound the motors and advanced the timing

  • that's awesome. but its quiet. I hate quiet.

    and how much horsepower does it push out ?

  • around 300 horse but puts out 772 ft-lbs. of torque. so its like a diesel with a formula one engines rpm range.

  • Something about this just isn't right......but I like it!

  • That is fucking intresting. very very intresting...good job and keep going with that lithium pak. let us knw how u do man...

  • For the FIRST time in history

    electric car are in GOOOOOOD Hands with John Wayland.

    Electric Drag racing is awesome and prove everything about true potential of electric car.

    Homemade electric car who can beat viper is a way much more cool than any thing else :)

    GOOD JOB JOHN

  • sign yup today i would do that to my 240 today

  • I want to do that to my car :(

  • green avenger

    its not about disturbing the peace and getting laid anyways dumb ass

    its the feel of the power under ur hood

    u go so fast n u hear ur motor exploding

    its adreneline

  • I finally heard some hot rodders admit why they wouldn't want an electric car, even if it was a fast. Said "they are too quiet." They are like those idiots with loud bass in their cars. They want to disturb the peace and strut around with their car like a peacock with an ass full of feathers for "chicks" to see. They don't want an electric car because they are afraid girls might not think they are cool. How pathetic. We have global warming and species extinctions, so they can get laid.

  • Hey Brotha, hate to tell you that global warming is all BS! The percent of CO2 that we produce is merely a fraction of what the earth produces. The earth, she makes the decisions, not us! Electric is still cool though!

  • I still would rather recharge a battery now and again instead of paying out the ass at the pump. Especially if I don't have to sacrifice the balls of my ride!

  • Even if the amount of CO2 that humans produce is a fraction of what the Earth produces, the CO2 that humans produce can be the straw that broke the camel's back. The Earth's ecosystem is a delicate balance.

  • How do you know its a delicate balance - does anyone know?

  • FOSGASSE...nós recusamosnos a andar com carros desses.....otto sempre, só aquele som e sentir as vibrações uauuu, nem que tenha que comprar a gasolina a 50 euros o litro

    GANG OTTO 4EVER

  • I'm gonna build one!!!
