    It’s lighter than I planned on. So it’s 150lbs less than with the LS. Porsche 930ish weight distribution. This is with the hood and bumpers hanging. I have less than 50lbs is misc. stuff to go in still.

    That's sick. Might need a few suspension adjustments if you're interested in maximizing the handling but otherwise looks like it'll be killer. Do you have room for more batteries in the front? Could you shift weight around if you wanted to?

    I’ve got the biggest available front sway bar and no rear to start. I’m sure there will be adjustments.

    Been working on fine tuning the motor/inverter. Almost time for some slicks.

    Getting close. Had to re-tune the inverter for the taller tires. Just a couple more tweaks and it'll be at my goal of 10.xx 1/4 and 2.xx 0-60 on the street.

    That’s plenty fast especially on a not prepped surface.

    does that show your 60’ time?

    Just stumbled onto this build. Have you upgraded the batteries since you finished this build?
