hotrodding electric motors will be cool.. perhaps cooler than hydro-carbon based engines... imagine dropping a locomotive electric motor into a volkswagon and showing up a the local track....
lol - just take a few winds off your motor and it will draw more current and in turn (no pun intended there) will produce more power. It will also put more load on the power supply and if the power supply isn't up to the task the other cars will be slower

Hot rodding electric motors is already huge with the R/C guys and the new brushless technology its the software in the speed controller that is making huge leaps in performance including software timing advance, etc...
