World's quickest street-legal electric car: A 1972 Datsun?

We've given a whole bunch of pixels to electric cars recently, especially the red-hot Tesla Roadster. But there's one electric car that can dust the Tesla -- and all the others -- off the line. It's a 1972 Datsun.

Meet the White Zombie from Plasma Boy Racing. John Wayland of Portland, Oregon, made the unassuming small car in his garage as a project, and now the custom-made electric powerhouse is taking the drag strips by storm. In the video below, it toasts a bad-ass-looking Corvette, much to the 'vette owner's chagrin.

We're not sure how practical it would be in real life, as it has to be recharged after each heat, but man, it looks like it'd be fun to drive.
