The White Zombie sets a 1/4 mile speed record at 126.01 MPH, first time I had ever been to a drag strip and one of the best nights of my life! So many cool Ecars were there!

Very slow for a car that light weight!

@Lithiumaniacs which car are you referring to? The zombie might not be as light as it looks with all the batteries in it. If that's the car you're talking about it has a current 0-60 time of about 1.8 seconds... A common supercar 0-6- time is about 3-3.5 seconds...

Old gearheads that don't believe in electric power have rotary-dial landline phones in their home because they don't believe in cell phones.

@RoadkillAU Na cuz it sparked when it took off also. Probably just a connection getting loose from all that racing.

That fat chick with a camera runs faster that the both cars.

@musclekid13 I know what you mean. Gotta respect how fast that little car is but I have to get used to the electric motors. I drove a Chevy Volt and it was freaking me put that there were no engine sounds!

That's electric motor torque. Why do you think diesels replaced steam starting almost a century ago? Why do you think your local big-city L train just gets up and goes?

@gazfish123 That was sparking as the front suspension scraped when the car came back down from its little wheelie...

[musclekid13]

I totally respect the electric motor. I just can't bring myself to love. Something about it not making noise hahaha

[gazfish123]

There was some serious arcing at 17 seconds

Man I love that car I am old school but this is one old dog who is always willing to learn new tricks . How much would it cost me to do the same thing to a bug . the only problem would be when I went before a judge because I was popping wheelies and eating horsemeat all day .
