I saw this earlier, cool stuff and impressive but my only question is.......

what does the car say in the back window, the camera conveniently seems to never show the back window.

I would hope its not some kind of America bashing thing http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

in the beginning of the video you can see that it says "suck amps"

I will wait for the cold fusion reactor for my car!!!! Banana peels and coffee grounds!!! Where was the source for the juice to 'refill' the car? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

They "plugged in" at the track, I believe...think they said like a 1/2 hour or more charge for 1 run?

That video is a perfect example of efficiency at the drag strip...an abnormally low MPH considering the ET...considering how lite the car is, I'd say he'd be *darn lucky* to see the 300hp he mentions, which normally wouldn't get a car into the 12s, much less the 11s. The advantage with the electric motor is that it's @ full torque immediately, versus the parabola of a piston engine...basically it's just on or off! Bet he sees a LOT of cars fly by him just past the traps with that unusually low of a trap speed...

Here's the nitty gritty on the White Zombie Datsun, or is that Nissan. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
