I couldn't get it to load,I'll try on my Mac when I get home.I have seen some pretty mean electric cars come along lately.

I'm only seeing an image as well so nothing for me to compare it to. Electric and diesel will flat surprise a lot of folks.

You can make stupid power with electric cars and they have a huge advantage as they have a very linear torque curve that is very flat and consistent.

That guy has been winning races for a long time. IIRC he is from the Sacramento area. That old datsun is pretty light and INSTANT torque is quite fun.

But he's just lucky nobody showed up with a Z06. Woulda ruined his whole schtick :lol:
