My conversion is over 500lbs. lighter than his and alot quicker. He cut a big hole through his floorpan to make room for the motor and not happy with the result.

Assuming it wasn't a concours winning car when you started the project, good use of an OB that would otherwise be parted out.

That is really cool. I have been wanting to do an EV conversion for a while now. I already have my doner car. A 95' Dodge Neon with a bad engine. I would like to use it for my 52 mile round trip daily commute. I would like to see the car in Berkley if you can get it there.

Hmm....40% front 60% rear......thats actually BETTER than a standard 928's balance (my thoughts anyway).....
It looks like you are using lead acid car batteries......which work well but are VERY heavy.....have you considered something a bit more hi-tech..... doesn't the Tesla roadster use Nimh or Li-ion batteries....granted they are STUPID expensive...but should increase the range and power quite a bit....I think the 200ish HP tesla has a range of over 200miles? I think it has Li-ion laptop batteries...a WHOLE bunch of them.....couple thousand I think.....
