the best car for EV is , the lightest.
(and good brakes)

basic physics. work = energy through a distance.
one of the best ever was the old 914
or the old Pontiac Fiero

a 2000 lb steel car, is possible to find. and a great goal. (a Samurai or 2 door Sidekick?)
Shelby Cobra at 2k, lots of old British sports cars, in the day.

even better is a dune buggy. .convert.
better than that is built from scratch, like a home built air craft. (tube frame,alum. etc)
Fill all the frame tubes with helium. (funny, and if ballsy, Hydrogen)

and this question, is the #1 questions. Congrats on , finding it. Under 2k.(before bats)
