I have a 2006 Impala SS. It is FWD ... I'm sure you guys all know about that.

Impalas are FWD?
Single speed electrics need about twice the torque for starting up compared to one with a [two speed] transmission, per EVTV. For instance my Lexus MGR would rev to 10,000rpm with 6.something reduction (after another $12,000 investment.
).
Frankly, since your going to be saving up for a while, by years-end they will have reverse engineered the CAN Bus controls for the Telsa drivetrain. 400hp. You could ditch the V-8 and have a faster car.
Sit through a few back episodes of EVTV and see what you think. It's on Youtube and at

Pretty much everything in that picture that is not suspension, exhaust, or the gas tank. I have no idea what that stuff is for.

Crossmember and brake lines?
