That's impressive! Would it be faster if you used 1st and/or 2nd gear also?

Oh! Yes, it's 1900 lbs for the complete car (motor, battery, etc...)

Ummm! Well, in first gear, the front wheels leave the ground or the rear wheels spin a lot and I'm not perfectly under control!
In second gear the acceleration is impressive and fast up to 45 mph, but because I'm forced to used clutchless system, I lost a plain second to shift from second to third gear and the 0-60 time is just a bit faster that using only third gear.

Tedktis, the more weight you can shed the better and like the others I don't think you are going to be able to get that low with a Mustang. If you want any help I am also in the Asheville area.
