ive seem some really nice home built eletric cars. one being a first gen mr2. this car has been to a few autox's http://www.geocities.com/mathenybrian/mr2.htm

the other neat car was a 1st gen RX7 it was set up for drag racing. it carried the wheels till about the 60ft mark and ran single digit numbers. it was a detacated drag car so im assuming his range was about 1500ft.

give it a few years, we will all be driving fuel cell powered eletric sports cars that can make what we think is cool now look silly with a heathy aftermarket too.
