Thought this was pretty impressive, enjoy.

Cool motor… big car, looks like fun!

I’m wondering, it must be an awesome car

did I see 3000 ft/lbs torque at the end? WTF??

No - what you saw is 3000NM (Newton Metres) which is how a dynapack measures tourque. NM to ft/lbs is calculated by Nm * 0.74 = ft/lbs

Also, what you are seeing is TQ at the hubs which is a multiplication of TQ at the motor X the final drive ratio of the transmission/diff gears.

Assuming that car has a 4th gear of 1:1 and a final drive of 4.10 that car would be making approx 540 ft/lbs of TQ …respectable by most peoples definition
