is being built on discovery channel right now… it’s going to race a viper.
it’s a mail truck with a vw transaxel and subaru shit, the dude is claiming 600hp… no ls1 :bigok:
:gives:
going to watch:cool:
watching it right now.
isn’t the discovery channel supposed to be educational.
oh well this is more interesting anyways
that had to be one of the worst paint jobs i ever saw
how beat… it fuckin broke the whole time… :doh:
yeah that dragster sucked. the paint was horrible and the design wasn’t much better.
It shouldn’t be hard at all to build a fast electric drag car but they somehow screwed it up.
Oh yeah and that guy welding with the four stacked pairs of sunglasses. :nono: :ugh:
broke the record at 15 something…hahahaha…good thing they put the roll cage in and had the fire suit on…
that show sucked
interesting thing about electric engines. constant torque across the board
I :love: the discovery channel

yep. peak torgue at 0 rpms
I dont see why they didnt do some type of chain drive instead of those belts.
I like the idea of taking a 2wd and using electric motors to power the other two wheels… I think it was Toyota or GM who designed a viable prototype using this idea…
just think, when the world runs out of oil in 50+ years…we’re all gonna have to resort to building that crap :scared:
either that or the liberals will finally let us drill in Alaska

we’ve gone from a horse to steam to gas. It’s only a matter of time before the next thing comes along. I can’t wait, technology kicks ass.
