Just wanted to post this for review. I submitted a reply to the "Honda Insight is fast" thread about this car. More people may be interested!

AC Propulsion

I wonder how the Insight would perform with the AC Propulsion drivetrain and power unit in it.

Think about it, a car that was designed to perform pretty well with a low weight, very low aerodynamic drag, chassis designed to hold batteries for power, and gas engine removed to make it even lighter than it already is!

On another note, I'm seriously wondering what can be done to get the performance of AC Propulsion's TZero into the frame of the K-1 Attack.

Anyone want to discuss...?

WOW, that is a pretty fast car. The 1/4 mile times aren't as impressive as the 0-60 times, but that's probabyl due to the electric motor not being as powerful as a gas motor.

I already posted about an Insight passing me on the freeway. That guy was going 90+.
