Other Notes: With only 8500 miles, the car still has the new car smell. Originally it had Optimas and cost $35,000 to convert. I bot it on Ebay for $10,000. (so I got started with a Zilla, Warp, custom adapter, Link8, paktraker, DC/DC and vehicle cost included in the $10k) I added $13,000 in Lithium. Handles like a skate board, and ride is surprisingly comfortable. Much faster acceleration that its ICE counterpart. One Surprising thing are the Rolling Resistance. I had WIDE 195-50-15's and got just under 195/watts per mile. I upgraded to 185-60-15 Bridgstone (my other set that had 8000 miles on them) and now am getting 230 Watts per mile. Going to 215/45/17's to see what happens. And then coroplasting (sp) the underside.
