Gearhead Jim Belosic has managed to make his 1981 Honda Accord go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds by stuffing it with drivetrain bits from a Tesla Model S P85. The custom parts added a bit of height to the vehicle, so he had to add huge drag tires to even things out.
Even the most hardcore EV-hater would have a hard time saying that this over 500 horsepower build isn’t an improvement over the stock Accord engine, which only made about 40 to 50 horsepower with all the extra California-mandated emissions equipment.
