See a 1984 Pontiac Fiero homebuilt electric race car get to 155 mph

The gearhead delight from this weekend's Texas Mile event culminated with the 257.7-mph standing mile run of a Hennessey-tuned twin-turbo Ford GT. It looks pretty boss, but for sheer bravery it can't top the run John Metric made that was 102 mph slower -- in his 1984 Pontiac Fiero converted at home into an electric drag racer.
