Feels even better now that I've got regen braking working! Here's the latest updates:

West Coast $2009 Challenger - AWD Fiero Hybrid-Page 4: Grassroots Motorsports forum: Grassroots Motorsports Magazine

Not the most exciting reading this week, but I made some very positive progress. I'm hoping to bring it to the drag strip this weekend to see how it holds up.

I thought you guys might be interested to see that the car has been on the dyno to evaluate different battery configurations and battery packaging has begun.

The car has to be ready to make the drive from Portland to San Diego next Tuesday, so in theory it will be "done" soon.

More updates:

West Coast $2009 Challenger - AWD Fiero Hybrid-Page 11: Grassroots Motorsports forum: Grassroots Motorsports Magazine

The car will be competing in the central Florida area (Gainesville) in a few weeks if anybody there wants to come check it out and show some support for the DIY hybrid.

Whoa.. That pontiac really is cool.. I hope to see the real one. Too bad I think the show was already over. I wonder how much he spent on the pontiac parts..
