Thank you for finally bringing the White Zombie and Killacycle into this thread. The Zombie did 1.6 second 60 foot runs six years ago with nothing more than a calibrated right foot! That was with street legal tires, no warming blankets or any nonsense other than a burnout. Sure, advanced controls can both win races and improve safety, efficiency, and repeatability, but it's just to replace driver skill and govern the brute force inherent to electric drive. I enjoy regen EVen more than the next guy, and may never buy another pure ICE vehicle, but it's still my series-motored conversions that give the biggest EV grins.
