I always loved the 917, but these Lazer kitcars looked like someone had melted it down till it bent in the middle.
With better lines, it could have been decent. I do like the idea of people converting cars to electric (in the midwest, that means originally coal fired) as a rather neat project. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) 120 is a minimum for a decent DC EV. For AC, you need 144 (I'm personally moving my AC conversion up to 216). Thing probably accelerates like a mile-long coal train. |

Man I love the smell of bullshit in the morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
QUOTE Apparently your friend has never seen VW Drags...times in the low 10's. A turbocharged Corvair can be faster than some Corvettes. My 917 has a 2 liter modified VW in it and with the extra overdrive tops out around 175. Your freind needs to understand that "Big Motor" sometimes compensates for little .........you get the idea. Porsche, Honda, Datsun, these have all been racing with 4 cylinders for years. And yes, the Laser is VERY cool. Taken from this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/t84097-917...r_kit_car_.html There was a super cool lazer or Manta, full tube frame I believe a 3.0 911 engine, I forget, but totally reworked till it was cool. Sort of like the guy who built a Lambo in his basement kind of deal. I was looking for it and is how I came across this post. |
