ayupp.
our very own Otmar (Palo Alto) is drag-racing his electric 914 (with a lot of success i might add)

something like 1500 lbs of torque on full-juice. at 0 (yes, zero) rpm, mind you ...
930 gearbox, using only 1 gear. (no need to shift). that car is a blast!

makes for some spectacular tire smoking ...
