electric conversion, new pics, must see Options

[celicaST]

just thought id see if anybody on here has attempted or would be interested in trying to convert their celi to an electric car. our car would be perfect for a electric conversion because of its light weight. i think it would be cool just because it would be unique and all the extra money youd save on gas, oil, repairs/replacements, etc. plus, electric motors have a lot of benefits over gas engines: they produce maximum torque at zero rpm, deliver their peak power over broad rpm range (in other words a 100hp rated em would beat a 100hp rated ice), only one moving part, no shifting needed, can be surged with current to produce many times their rated power for limited time, can use regen braking to help save energy and decrease load on brakes, etc. anyways just thought id throw it out there. theres a lot of tuner potential, and with li-ion batterys and integration of a ultracapacitor pack would make it pretty damn fast, not to mention the sexiest ev on the road . heres a few sites

this one shows a production ev that can hit 0-60 in under 4 seconds
