This "thing" can probably fit in the bed of the L, too. :burnout:

Notice the slicks, roll-cage and the 5-pt. racing harness. I'd like to see it in action. :nana2

Quoting from the site:
Acceleration:
0 to 60 MPH, about 4 seconds. 1/4 mile time about 12 seconds at a speed of approximately 120 MPH. These figures are based on comparisons with other cars that hold official records with NEDRA (http://www.nedra.com/) (National Electric Drag Racing Association). Calculations have taken weight, motor torque, controller, voltage, gear ratio, and traction into consideration. They assume that racing slicks are fitted and driven on a drag strip with good traction conditions. For example, the world record held for a dragster used the same controller as the Tango in the Current Eliminator IV (http://www.currenteliminator.net/), with a quarter mile time of 8.801 seconds at 137.65 MPH. The Tango has the same motors that the Maniac Mazda (http://www.evparts.com/about/index.php?show=mazda.ihtml) used to achieve an 11.039 second quarter mile at 111.80 MPH.
Top Speed:
150 MPH. This is a limitation based on a practical red-line for the motors of about 8,000 RPM with the standard 3.25:1 gear ratio. Top speed vs. acceleration can be traded off by choosing any of 10 different ratios from 2.92:1 giving a top speed of 172 MPH to 5:1 which would give a top speed of 100 MPH. The 5:1 would give phenomenal acceleration if you could get enough traction.
