Very cool. I like the custom tail lights.



I'm glad he retained the exhaust tips. IMO, it would've looked weird without them. The pièce de résistance would be to have the exhaust sounds of a healthy internal combustion engine being played and ported out through the tips.

I called a company about doing this. I will neither confirm nor deny it was the same company but the quote I received was well north of six figures. Their adaptation is amazing and detailed!

Great job- but the big downside of EVs is the weight; It weighs close to 3700 lbs!

I wish we had batteries that were half the weight and yet double the range.....maybe some day- if we decide to advance the technology......

That's unfortunate they ruined an 88 for that.

Wow!! That's about 1000lbs in weight added to the original specs!! Its a pig, it stops slower, corners slower and when it accelerate its like speaking in sign language because its muted and we can't hear it. That's a shame.

I don't think even close.

He said in the article 4.6 0-60 and he 'thinks' it could hit 120mph top speed.

So probably ~13.x seconds in the 1/4.
