I put less into my Z28 and ran much faster. He's also has to replace those batteries that cost a fortune. Vette didn't have slicks also and 107 and 110 mph is put put mph.. Cool for the guy but not impressed. Damn Hippies.

Here is a video of the Killacycle where the owner wrecks it.

What about disposing of all those batteries? I think it's funny when people say the Prius or Insight is the answer. It might be but they have not figured out a proper way of disposing of the batteries in a long term fashion yet...At least one that is environmentally sound...

Like Czechman mentions above - the electricity to charge those batteries comes from, most likely, a fossil-fueled power plant. Therefore, you are merely moving the pollution from Point A to Point B, perhaps a bit more efficiently. If the electricity came from a nuclear power plant, the pollution from mining and processing the radioactive fuels to run the plant have to be accounted for.
