The Viper is geared to run 190+ mph... but only hits 118 - 120 mph in
the 1/4 mile. If you geared the Viper down to run fast 1/4 mile times... it
would stomp that little golf cart like a narc at a biker ralleye!
That thing is a joke (compared to the Viper).
Add 5 mph bumpers, air conditioning, and enough batteries to match the
Viper's 350 mile cruising range... and it's a super-joke.
Charge the batteries with power from a coal or gas-fired powerplant...
and it's a mega-joke!!!! LOL
Typical media stunt... trying to make "alternative" vehicles appear
"competitive" with conventional vehicles.

How do electric indoor go carts compare to outdoor racing go-carts in
terms
of top speed and take off acceleration. A friend went to an indoor

racing
go-cart place and thinks they are way faster than any gasoline powered
go-cart, I think gasoline must be faster. Any online comparisons?
Thanks for settling our argument.



Go to lower right hand section of this web page to view a movie of the
T-Zero 200HP electric car beating a 500HP Dodge Viper in a 1/4 mile race.
The link is called "T-Zero Racing Viper"
