Introducing the All-Electric Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 Dragster, Capable of 8 Second Quarter Mile

[YoloBathsalts]

It is a sad day that a dragster is all electric. Why would I want to f@ck a girl with a vibrator when I got a dick?

Nice job this time around boys. We made it all the way to page 4 before bringing up our units when discussing Gas vs Electric. Not bad.

Batteries have their place but high-discharge it is not.

Now that's funny right there.

I went to the range yesterday for a cup of coffee and to chat with some of the guys there. At one point I looked out the door and saw a Mustang parked next to my truck, but couldn't tell much about it. Later on when I left, I thought, "Oh boy, I get to check out the mustang". To my horror, when I got up to my truck, the Mustang had turned into a "TESLA". It was even the same color. What a boring looking car.

Boring. Kinda like an electric train for kids

interesting to see that AEM logo on the side.

Thanks for those cool pics!!!

I can’t wait for a production S550 or S650 that will slaughter anything on the street with a similar setup as the CJ...

Unfortunately it is the future direction most Manufacturers are going - and honestly, that CJ is the route Ford should have gone BEFORE introducing that abomination of a SUV and tagging the Mustang name to it....

Had Ford introduced an S550 with a killer electric platform like that CJ, it would have sold out quicker and faster than any Mustang in the history of Ford. But Laurel and Hardy decided that plugging a modified Ford Escape on a VW platform and calling it a Mustang was going to benefit Ford...

LOL.

Again, thanks for the CJ pics - that’s really a wild platform and can’t wait to see what else comes along.

I'm surprised the motor is carried so high. I guess there's a big reduction gear for the trans mounted below it instead of driving it in-line. I'm picturing in my mind those Mabuchi motors in the model cars we used to buy back in the 80's.

For those who are really interested in the technology, check out Cascadia Motion's website. Their dual-stack motor (looks just like what is in the Mustang) is capable of about 700 kW, a couple of these would provide enough for what Ford is claiming. The inverters are also Cascadia units. I doubt Ford will learn much from this that can be applied to a production EV but it sure is a great marketing tool!

How does this look any different from a regular cobra jet? Are you just hating for the sake of it?

Can't speak for him but I know regular cobra jet sounds like T-Rex from Jurassic Park with hair on its chest, as apposed to golfer driving to a sand pit to get to his golf ball to hit a par 5.

I would love to see any person on this entire forum control a supposed 1400HP vehicle and say it's like an electric train and "boring". Hell most people here including myself can't probably even handle a supercharged Mustang.

Well I never said it is boring so again I am not speaking for the guy. I also would never want to own that car and if I were given it I would sell it for something else, even if it does have less horsepower. I don't like electric cars nor will I ever just my preferred taste. I don't think anyone is arguing about how fast they are they are arguing about what is in it to make it fast. As I said before if you like electric by all means go for it but don't Karen over it and expect other people to enjoy what you enjoy.
