Default an electric powered crossfire @ sema w/ pics

as you can see in the pics...the hatch area was full of batteries. 0 to 60 in about 10 seconds.

cool to see...but not for me!

Just begs the question, why? Why have a fast looking car that isn't that fast!

conservation...i guess?

makes no sense...spend 30k on a car...then convert it...spend even more money...then lose more when you try to sell it.

lets hope it was just a show piece.

Yea, and where do you put the golf clubs. I guess they ride shotgun unless the passenger side is taken up with batteries, voltage regulators, alternators, or other electrical thing-a-ma-jigs.

Not for me.

Could be they are trying to get a different group of people into some energy efficient cars instead of just the old fogies! You never know!
0-60 in 10 seconds? That's forever!

0-60 in ten sec.Hhhmmm. You start as a younger youthfull person, by the time you reach ten you become an old fogie.

LOL! Sorry, that's really funny. I'm used to watching my husband go 0-195 in 7.25 seconds, but that's at a race track, so it's a little different

That would imply that the crossfire with a gasoline engine is fast.

It's pretty fast! Fast enough for me, anyway.
But then, fast is a relative term. Obviously it's not fast enough for everyone, since people are chipping and altering it to go faster. And that's their perrogative! But 0-60 in 10 seconds? Sounds like a fast roller skate!

I see what you're thinking, but in reality... THEY'RE ALREADY SELLING A FAST LOOKING CAR THAT ISN'T FAST! I love this car to death, but it is definately not fast. If speed's soley what we wanted, we would have gotten an SRT-4 for $16k less!

Roller Skate Huh, well I must say, that the first time I ever heard sorry...Read that term before. Do you know how much you can get done in 10 sec. Well, not a whole lot, but I'm sure I can come up with something to fill the time.
