Hi Thomas,

First question with any racing endeavor, what is your budget?  That will
dictate your path.

Hi eyerone! my name is thomas and i am a long time reader of EV articles and
first time writer of one. i have a question that i need an answer to. i am
about to graduate from college and im also about to get a new car that im
going to convert into an EV. let me tell you what im looking for in an EV. i
want a FAST EV, something that can do a 1/4 mile in a respectable time like
a 10 second (or better) car and i do not know what kind of car i should go
with. i was thinking a miata, infiniti G35, honda S2000 or an old mazda like
a RX3 or R100. or a datsun 1200 like the white zombie. i was thinking about
using a A/C system but i heard that a D/C system is cheaper and is better
for the track. BUT A/C has regen braking and its less stressful on the
transmission. SO MANY QUESTIONS haha 

If anyone has any advice on what is a good way to build a 10sec EV that has
a good distance on it and i wont have to recharge it after backing out of my
drive way. than by all means tell me what kind of system a/c or d/c and what
kinda car and any any other info you can give me would be great. thank you
