Ohhh, and did I mention that both these are EVs? With a 400hp, 1000 (yes one thousand) lb/ft of torque! One engine driving each rear wheel, powered by 22 12 Volt batteries!

The Tango has a range of only 80 miles, though!

Can't wait for the prices to become 'realistic' ;)

i think it's great they can get great performance from those cars, but that Tango looks like it has a high center of gravity. I'd hate to roll that little thing. If you roll it, you may get buried in it.

Center of Gravity
 

i think it's great they can get great performance from those cars, but that Tango looks like it has a high center of gravity. I'd hate to roll that little thing. If you roll it, you may get buried in it.
:nod:

Well, its defined as the position at which gravity would act on the object, if its entire mass (not weight) were concentrated at that point. So a light enough roof would make the CG pretty low. In fact, go ahead and check out the video of the car running through a slalom/autocross course, The only thing better would be a frikkin' Go Kart! Pretty incredible! :drool:

Sig, police, police-police!
 
OK OK already! I was just experimenting with sigs, images and sizes. Will have stuff figured out soon :dunno:

Funny how I was hit by the board police, and then the police got policed ;)

Sure, my message should probably also be a PM instead, but hey - I don't set the precedents around here :rolleyes:
