I've owned 2 S2000s. Before my Model 3 Performance, this was my favorite car of all time. Way to meld my TWO favorite brands into one hellish beast. Very very cool.
Please release an unedited version of the drag. Would love to hear the sound of the S2000. Also, please tell us whether or not you defeated the Tesla. :)
Why have I not seen a conversion of a standard front wheel drive car with the addition of a standard rear wheel drive axle driven by an electric motor powered by batteries charged by regenerative braking and the underused power of the original motor whilst cruising?. Do I really have to do this on my own? :-)
It's good, but that's just a hybrid. You can get Honda Accord Hybrid eCVT or Chevrolet Volt. Really no matter how much you think about it, there is no point, because we are all going electric anyway. Just put a Model 3 battery on every car.
@@BoB-Dobbs_leaning-left A little bit different setup than what you proposed, but have you seen the Civic Type R with Orbis electric motors at the rear wheels? ua-cam.com/video/iQ4lTPVR3qc/v-deo.html
It's in the video. They stuffed *2* 18.4 kWh Chevy Volt battery packs into this car. You can see one of the battery packs in its original T shape in the video.
Looking at the track width, I'd say they left the Tesla subframe as is. They might have changed the mounting positions to suit the car, but it looks like they left the Tesla suspension geometry intact. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, honestly.

Can't believe you played that music the whole time...we want to hear the electric whirl.
Exactly!!!
Would have loved to hear the quiet drag !

Same here! I miss my s2k so much but I also love my Tesla Model 3 perf too
Great car. What's with the music, though?
V-tecsla 👌
Well done, I'd like to hear it go!
It would have been a better video without the repetitive annoying music.
It would be much better without people giving their unwanted opinions as well..
How much to built something like this?
i need this in my life. i will have this in my life.

fastest model 3performance run in the 11.5sec range while this managed a 10.2sec so it´s fairly obvious that it did beat the model 3.
"People love the spaceship noise of an EV, right? Well, why don't we play music over it!?"
*Everyone at the meeting applauds.*
This is unbelievable! So sick!
passenger Ryan Gosling?

Yes please
There a such ctr conversion, awd hybrid ctr

@@themodfather9382 the point is that you could do this with an existing vehicle and have the extra "poke" when you want it.
Shits and giggles.

How has the Tesla motor been modified? Just removed the electronic governing or something else ?
How about doing that kind conversion with Chevy Cavaliers and other compact cars?
Extremely interested!
$8,000 for 646hp.... Cheaper than a ls crate swap..
Pure genius!
Si je désire convertir mon véhicule à combustion interne vers le moteur électrique, qu'est-ce que je dois savoir? Quel est le budget moyen à prévoir?
Wow je veux monter pareille sur une 2006 bmw z4 ... Ca doit ressembler bcp... Combien ca couter??
What motors/controllers?
did it not run a 10.1 at one point?
Is it just me, or did it seem he had a late start in the video and could trimmed some time if he had started with the light?
Time would have been the same, just the reaction time would change. Time is only recorded from when you start till finish.
@@skarpheinnsmundsson9741 Okay. I see.
Are these batteries from a Roadster? Can you use this as a daily driver? What's the range? +/-100 miles?

Interesting that this setup weighs more than the stock version.
Batteries weigh alot.
Crazy fun day at the strip. Thanks Fred Lambert for coming!
Recycling (Tesla & Chevy Bolt Bit & Pieces) at its best ;)
Esque tu a utiliser la subframe d'une Tesla? Avec modifications? Ou es tu fabriquer une solution? Mon Francais n'est pas tres bien haha, merci!

Hell Yeah!! Electric wizardry...
Beau travail! Dommage qu'il ne soit pas possible de plaquer ce genre de véhicule au Québec
Nice music!
Probably only 1 pass because it doesn’t have a roll cage running 10 seconds. The photo at the end shows how much the body is twisting at launch.
Wow you beat Rywire to it!
I want to do this to my s2000, who to contact for help!! Love this!
Let me have your engine
If only you could get a wrecked Plaid and evolve this car...
4000lbs???
3075lbs
@@FrenchValleyAirport that's super light
200lbs over a stock s2000 so yeah it's pretty light for the power output
Tabarnak !
Uncle Rey :))
I thiught there was only one
At least mute the crap music during the race, holy hell!
Someone needs to drop an LS in a Tesla.
Damn
Shut off the music
la musique est vraiment gossante....
Take out the passenger next time lol
Seriously.. take the music off. I would have subscribed if you wouldnt have played music over the lack of noise that we all wanted to hear.
nice car but lame music to make it more. like adding "jazz hands" on top of a beautiful dance routine; annoyingly not necessarily.
Cool car trash music
ruined by music
Music is stupid
stupid music gave me migraine.
So it's a Tesla.
No, it's an s2000
Is an ls swapped s2000 a Chevy?!? No...
It has more Chevy parts than Tesla parts in it.

So what you're saying is there's no more V-TEC......PASS!
