I wish I had an electric version of this with the same aero and low weight parts...

If the Tesla Roadster's motor and battery pack were slipped into this, it would easily exceed 400 miles per charge at 70 mph(if it had thick, sticky, non LRR tires), and with a two speed transmission properly designed with the 1st gear for 0-80 mph and the second one for top speed, it would probably exceed 190 mph... given that the weight of the vehicle would be increased to around 2,200 lbs with that battery pack, 0-60 mph would still be around 3 seconds flat since it would be a fair bit lighter than a Tesla Roadster...
