John Wayland just posted this on the NEDRA group. Even though it is 'racing', I thought that people that are interested in EV's should be made aware of it. It is just shows what a determined EV team can do.
Hello to All, The fully street legal, all factory-bodied 1968 Mustang Fastback with a full interior and no lightening composite panels, ran the Texas Mile run at 174.2 mph in the street legal class. The 3300 lb. Black Zombie is powered by a Derek Barger 'High Tech Systems' 17.7 kWh lithium pack, twin Zilla Z2k controllers, and a pair of torque-monster NetGain 11 inch motors twisting a pair of Gear Vendors overdrives coupled to a 2:47 Ford nine inch differential. External 12v blowers for the motors and iced-water for the Zillas kept the heat at bay. Congrats to Mitch and Libby Medford and the rest of team Bloodshed Motors! See Ya...
