at first i thought it was a joke....
that thing is pretty impressive. i'd love to pull up next to a civic in that thing and smoke him. hehe

thats really cool- im on our university electric racing team so this is really cool- in the resident car guy - I dont know squat about the electrical part- but our two race cars have the world records. our Formula lightning went 150.8 MPH top speed last year and out GM EV1 has the Capacitor driven electric 1/4 mile record at a traction limited 15.2

we are working on a multi gear (thats right - with only one gear the thing goes 15.2 smoking the tire off the line)and traction solution (mabey a quaife??)

First thing I thought was "Meh, it's fast straight line, but it'll fall over", then "34 batteries inline under the driver's seat", oh yeah, fixed that!


Magic Eric's prediction: Will not catch on in America. Where's the Sparrow? Only one I've ever seen is Rainbow/ARC Audio's demo car. Besides, 60% of Americans are overweight, I'm 5'10" 120lbs and that looks too small for me. Neat idea, though; saving the planet and all.
