Nice tour in the car, sounds like a "Ferrari" race car. Eco Steve

@EcoGreenGroup Unfortunately the performance isn't quite at that level ;) Maybe someday.

how much did this cost? how much would it cost to get to 600HP+

[JRP3]

@DAGONLINUX I think I'm around $12K including the donor vehicle. 600HP, a heck of a lot more. You'd need dual motors, possibly dual controllers, and a very high power battery pack. Might want to see if you really need 600HP since that's a peak rating. Electric motors make full torque from 1 RPM so you can accelerate harder with much less HP than a gas motor.

@DAGONLINUX You might want to check out Mike's electric Pinto.  He's around 300HP, I think it cost him around $25K for the build, and he's run 12.5 in the 1/4 youtube dot com/user/electrabishi

whats the weight and HP? TQ?

[JRP3]

@DAGONLINUX Weight should be close to stock, around 2500lbs. Haven't weighed it yet. Torque is around 115, peak HP around 80, using 550amps x 110 volts under load = 60.5KW or 80HP.

Thanks. MR2 is a good choice for a conversion, I considered it before I got the Fiero.
