    Its funny, just spent 4 days with my mates that have Drag Cars, asked them if an Electric Car has hit the drag strips yet... answer, NO.

    Guess it wont be far off.



    MSN clip wouldn't work for me, so posted this, guess its the same thing?

    I think ive been posting for years that electric cars will make it to the drag strip with time, how can you refuse a motor producing so much torque?

    Very impressive.

    Certainly a big future for electric cars with that level of performance.

    What it does provide, is brilliant power delivery... wheel spin, what wheel spin?
    I guess Electric Drag Bikes will be next, before they throw a car down the strip.

    EDIT: Looks like it was done 3 years ago! 200Mph and a 6 second pass.
    No Competition, so he put the bike away



    Couple of other Vids to get your head spinning... point to note, all these vidoes are years old now
