    sure, that's easy as long as you only want
    to have a range of 5 miles...

    (by the way, am i the first? probably not...)

    If this were true, I'd have seen it on CNN or MSNBC tonight. First of all it is very rare for an Internal Combustion Engine, even a hot rod, to hit such speeds. Secondly, the range is highly unlikely for any electric car right now, especially one with a top speed so questionably high.

    Finally, this thing is a stretch limo. Having owned & restored 2 limos, I know that they are like sherman tanks to drive compared to the original cars that they were stretched from. The weight alone of this car would prevent it from having the sort of range claimed.

    Until such lofty claims are verified by a trusted source, the Slashdot editors shouldn't be so gullible and eager to publish on their front page.
