Hey,
Idont know if this has already been discussed but the new hybrid cars, how would they go in spl because you could connect you system up to the batterys powering the electric motor witch im guessing are more than 12vooltsso u could go in street class with **** loads of batterys and still be legel because the batteries are in the manufacture position
Thoughts and comments please

Street class only allows batteries of 12V, so even if they were more, you can't be in stock using them.

But I'd assume you'd still be running off the "accessories" battery (12V) and not the "engine" batteries...

ok say your in SS could you use the engine batteries or is there a rule where it states your not alloud?
BlackIce
If you moved to SS then you could use 16v Turbostart batteries, or multiple Optima/Odyseey/Orbital batteries..

well thats just popped my balloon

Well no to mention it'd be a whole lot cheaper to use multiple large batteries in something other than a hybrid.. $40k+ for one of those Insight's.. $5000 worth of YT + $5000 for a halfway decent car to hack apart and turn into an SS monster
