Sorry if this is a repost

Go Datsun!!! F@#$ Nissan!

Wow -- this green beast is impressive! :eek:

nice! that was awesome

wow thats a crazy low trap speed for a 10 sec car... i guess it has something to do with it being electric... just so quick off the line and that makes up for it or what?

It doesn't really make all that much power, which is reflected in the trap speed. However, because it delivers full torque at 0 RPM, there's just an incredible launch (wonder what the 60' was).

No trans either -- direct drive.

maybe 1.4 ish?

1200 ftw!!

nice, whoo go datsun

i wish they did it in a 240-280z instead of that model. I know they were trying to make a statement, but it would have been way cooler.

wow, how fast off the line was that! what's the 0-60 time on it? trap speed and peak hp may not be much, but standing acceleration is phenomenal because electric engines have a totally flat torque curve. they make all their torque from 0rpm unlike internal combustion engines that have to build torque gradually as rotational speed increases.

wow amazing! Datsun POWER! but i'd still would like a GT-R :P

That's retarded, it wasn't even close.

Electric power FTW

F%*# Datsun!! Go Nissan!!!

This only goes to prove that it is TORQUE that wins any form of motorsport, not horsepower. As stated earlier in the thread, an electric motor has max torque available at 0 rpm .. hence the launch will be dynamite and it will just keep accelerating until wind resistance means that horsepower becomes the dominant factor ...
