    Mustang Cobra 1400 quarter mile....

    They ran the Mustang Cobra 1400 electric in 8.128 seconds yesterday. 171.9 mph. Crazy. They said it's really 1500 HP. That's as much as three V8's put together.

    It's funny that now Ford wants to race Tesla's model S 4 door family sedan. A production model vs a modified track car. Ford needs to do better with their production Mustang

    Tasca ran the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 for a quarter mile in 8.128 seconds at 171.97 mph, crushing the 8.27 seconds at 168 mph recorded in September of last year.

    This is funny "crushing", .142 seconds faster....

    In drag racing and at 170+ mph, 0.142 seconds is crushing.

    I know they are fast. But how long will those batteries last and how much to replace them?

    Eh, there are guys running faster times in pump gas street cars now. And for the record, .142 seconds would be about full 2 car lengths ahead.

    I'm telling you now the biggest issue could be the batteries . From what I understand the ability to dispose of the batteries is problematic. If a plastic bottle of water can cause so much pollution damage what will a car battery do?

    It's not about sound, batteries, gas powered vs. electric, or pollution. It's about just plain freakin' cool!

    Oh, it's a "one of a kind prototype". Probably heated the batteries before the run, too. Electric cars don't turn my crank, nor do automatic transmissions...unless they have paddle shifters.
    Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.

    I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.

    Instant torque! BUT they just don't do it for me. Just like a electric dirt bike. To me the sound is all part of it. NOTHING sounds as good to me as a BIG inch engine coming up on RPM running through the strip. CJ

    Building an electric car to drag race is a simple task. What is the range? How many laps could it do at a track?

    Obviously it's not a major accomplishment according to BBC experts. I'm surprised one of them didn't design and build a better version already...wow...

    It's just more Propaganda to the masses to sell electric cars folks. OH GEE LOOKIE HOW FAST THEY ARE! YOU BETTER GET ONE NOW!
    Really? and that's important how?
    What's really going on is NOT. buy electric and not gas. But.. buy Electric AND gas! Buy another vehicle!!
    Just as more vehicles to your current inventory and help US the auto makers sell MORE PRODUCT. .Yipee!
