A Porsche 914 converted to electric power turns a 13.8 in the quarter while leaving the Electric Z-car behind.
Sorry about the lack of sound, it seems it got lost in the conversion.

Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $2.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms.

VW Vanagon Fridge Modification
This shows how I put dual cooling fans on the back of my Vanagon Fridge and also how I installed an electronic ignitor to relight the flame when it gets blown out by a gust of wind while camping. It also makes lighting the fridge easier. The effect is similar to what the Westfalia came with on the latest 1990 models.
I found the ignitor online for about $35 by searching for 2931132019. For the ignitor you'll also need a small rocker switch with indicating light and three 0.110" and three .156" female spade crimps. Plus the usual other wires and crimps.
If you are planning to do this, check out my text and photos here:
