Top Speed 127 MPH (204 KPH)
Acceleration Targeting 60 mph in 3.5 sec.
And 12 Seconds in the 1/4 mile :-)
(we made it to 12.47 in the first
season out :-)
Range 1 Miles ( 1 Kilometers)
This'll be primarily a dragster. But we
should be able to drive it around town
and to shows and EVents. (and to work
some times to show off)
Watt Hours/Mile 250 Wh/Mile
Just from data spewed from the Zilla it
looks like I'm averaging 250WH/mi in my
driving to work and back on the street.
EV Miles
Current: 320 Miles (514 Kilometers)
Seating Capacity 2 and some stuff.
Curb Weight 3,200 Pounds (1,454 Kilograms)
Stock weight of the Pinto was 2350
pounds. 2.6l V6 and C4 Tranny came out
at 450#, two Warp9's went in at 300#,
Zilla, Roll bars, extra for the 9"
rear, drive line loops and battery
trays that came out heavier that I
wanted push my estimate to the 3200#
range.

Something speed rated and small (front)
