So maybe the title isn't totally in the appropriate context, but according to Treehugger, that title belongs to a 1972 Datsun named White Zombie. The converted electric has been setting world records all over the place in 1/4 Mile drag races, going up against Corvettes, Ferraris, and souped up muscle cars, and leaving them all in its dust. Whether you are a gearhead or a treehugger, that's just impressive. The car began setting records with a set of 60 lead-acid batteries, and has since been replaced with lighter and more powerful lithium ions. In the video, you can see the car doing a quarter mile in 11.8 seconds, and reaching 110mph in the same race. I think it's time for a Fast and the Furious sequel, featuring Ed Begley Jr playing Dom.
Revised dialogue:
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the ozone layer, not global warming, not the EPA and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free. "
