The Motors are wired for both series and parallel so that they can be switched on the fly but we haven’t gotten all the contactors hooked up yet so all runs have been with them wired in Series only for maximum amps to launch. Drivetrain Rear wheel drive mid-motor setup with 5 speed Muncie/Getrag transmission. Dual 8 inch WARP motors connected with custom machined 7075 aluminum pulleys and industrial belt. Controller Cafe Electric Zilla 2K HV
2000 amp Zilla 2K High Voltage model Batteries 23 Exide Orbital, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM
Tired old Blue-top Exide Orbitals just can’t take the Zilla’s power drains when the controller is turned up all the way… I need Lithium! System Voltage 276 Volts Charger ChargerManzanita Micro PFC-30M
I got the very first PFC-30 to be equipped with an AC current meter! What a wonderful option as I can easily and quickly tune the charger to pull the max amps and not a bit more from whatever outlet I plug into! 

Manzanita Micro Mk2B Analog AGM BMS (Battery Mangagement System) Heater I got a ceramic heater but it is not installed yet… DC/DC Converter Lambda Don’t Remember?
55 Amps capable and able to accept up to 370V input, this DC/DC augments a small 18AH Powersonic AGM battery to take care of the 12V system Instrumentation E-meter and custom on-board computer. Top Speed 112 MPH (180 KPH)
The fastest I have had it up to is 112 and that was still just in 4th gear and there are 5 speeds in the transmission! Also that was with the motors wired in Series and it should be capable of a lot more in parallel. The car is very sleek and low and VERY powerful! Acceleration To quote several of my friends: “Neck Snapping!!!” I can easily beat Tesla Roadsters and just about any other car off the line! The launch is INSANE! Range 900 lbs of tired old lead-acid batteries doesn’t do much for the range but it is great for going around town running errands and really fun between signal lights and at the drag strip! Watt Hours/Mile 290 Wh/Mile
I still need to get some more figures on average WH per Mile… Seating Capacity Just 2 people, or me & 4 cute girls Curb Weight 3,500 Pounds (1,590 Kilograms)
Ugh, its heavier than stock with those blasted lead-acid batteries, onboard charger, twin motors, transmission, and solid Zilla 2K controller and huge 4/0 cable! Tires stock Fiero Formula tires, very wide profile for handling, not range. Conversion Time Started planning in 2004, got motors tested in car by January 2006, further developments and many changes including new vehicle chassis led to first real dragrace in 2009 Conversion Cost >$25,000 after all was said and done and after rebuilding things many times! Additional Features Locals love the real light-up Flux Capacitor in the console between the seats!
