Nice video!! We've seen that Datsun spank a bunch of cars before but never a GTR.

Huge amounts of instant on torque in a light car FTW! :cool:

and only a few years ago, Datsun was a bastard-child of the Nissan Motors

What's that little Datsun packin? That thing was off like out of a slingshot!

Hyundai >> Datsun >> GT-R >> Hyundai.


It's like an eternal circle of awesomeness!

I would hope an electric car would beat just about anything in a 1/4 mile.

Only thing that might have a legit shot would be a high-end street bike.

no surprise here. The Datsun weighs in at about half of what the GTR weighs and has all of that torque waiting for take off. No surprise here

Reminds me of this episode on CSI. Some dude had a electric powered Porsche (classic) and beat this guy that was driving a hot-rod.

Thing is... the kid died from whiplash.

^i remember that episode.



electric cars have monster torque.

The guys proves we have the technology for this - auto manufacturers are too lazy to make it happen. Or if you want to put it frankly there is huge conspiracy between the oil companies and the auto builders to stop this from happening.

Think about it, Electric cars have less parts and the electric motor has less chance of failure than a gas-powered car. If the public was to go All-Electric, E-cars will run and last alot longer thus the rate of replacing another E-car will be very low as well as using no Oil and/or Gas.

The only downside to E-cars, is they can't go long-distances continuously - like say If I want to take off today from Florida to Texas in one day (Not possible in an E-Car) but for around town this makes an excellent daily car.

Electric cars are coming but we'll always need Gas-cars but if E-cars enter the market eventually gas prices would go back down because demand is less because gas is not the only source of fuel so say goodbye to monopoly of oil and gas.. (Hopefully) :p

This guy does not prove anything. This is no proof at all that manufacturers can do this. His Datsun, without batteries, weighs about 1600 lbs. the batteries alone, are lead acid, and weigh more than 1,000 lbs. Those two, together, are an absolute impossibility for a modern day production EV.
