Anyone got a dragy? I have some testing / tuning to do and want a cheap baseline tester. Not on public roads before anyone asks. I used one several years ago and it seemed OK. Any current reviews?
WTF?
When you want supercar looks, but Corolla serviceability.WTF?

Videos with a dragy overlay are very popular online these days, surprisingly they don’t produce braking distance numbers, aimed squarely at the 1/4mile crowd.Anyone got a dragy?

Not gonna to lie, styling is nicer than most modern supercars.
Valve spring compressors lol. It's going to be very nice having a hobby car that just never has any of these problems, and the only special tool will be a multi meter. Every time I hear someone telling a story about an ICE engine repair I say "ha, that can't happen in an electric car".Oh well. Got it apart now... May as well clean up the valves and give them a lazy lapping job while I'm here. I even spent the 12 euros on a set of new stem seals… Sigh.

Hazardous Voltage dead short.Flat battery.
Homemade electronics letting out the magic smoke.Seriously though, almost every classic car conversion where I've heard the owners talking about it has said it's the reliability of electric that is the game changer for keeping classics alive and driving.
That’s bloody terrifying in a ICE car let alone a electric one.Modified wiring harness with intermittent fault.

Power distribution block, that’s a lead free soldered pcb, with tin whiskers causing intermittent power loss to subsystems and not triggering a single fault code. Even more fun when it the active sway bar hydraulic system that is fundamental to safe handling mid corner, what bmw calls dynamic drive. Basically a hydraulic pump that sends 2500psi to the sway bars, sway bars are split in half and joined by a hydraulic linkage, up till about 0.5G of lateral acceleration the car stays perfectly level.That’s bloody terrifying in a ICE car let alone a electric one.
I find the most cogent arguments always start with "Youse".Youse are fucking hilarious.
I won't write a list of the hundreds of things that can easily go wrong with ICE engine that can never happen to an electric motor.
