Conversion or convertible cars? Either way, having the battery turned sideways (side by side saddle or sideways shorty) is superior to running an inline battery that the convertible cars run (on dirt that is). I've driven both types of battery setups on the same car and can attest to that.

This car looks pretty awesome. I wonder what the race ready weight is? It's gotta be light. Hopefully they make it 3/4 gear swappable. Then I'd consider buying one.
