I'm all for over-kill ... but a Warp 11 HV style motor in an INSIGHT?!?
You'd have a power-to-weight ratio that would let you burn the tires off in any of your gears ... before you broke something in the drivetrain ...
I guess you could limit the torque on the controller to something that the drivetrain can handle ...
If I remember correctly the Warp 11 HV is based on a GE design ...
Anyway ... the GE motor is likely a bit heavier than required. With a motor that over-sized you may not have the DC motor heating issues that others have in their highway capable conversions
