oh so pretty much is uses motors to generate electricity? then you can use that electricity to spin the motors forward giving you acceleration?

that kind of makes sense but why not just go with a turbo setup with antilag?

Lol, yessir, and that's exactly what I'm wondering... Adding KERS to any car isn't efficient in any way over a turbo setup IMO

i guess if it was used in conjunction with a turbo or supercharger setup it could be beneficial but to add a system like that to the Z would probably cost more than having a turbo kit installed professionally and custom dyno tuned

im just gonna stick with nos when it comes to temp power, its cheaper and easier to setup

Yeah, I think all the NOS in the world would be cheaper and easier to install than KERS in our cars...
