Wow..........

Not a real attractive car IMO, but damn it has to be a blast to drive. I'll agree with Phoenix57, they should try it with 2 turbobusas.........they will need extra underwear though!

It definatly looks bad *** BUT they need to make it so that both engines drive all 4 wheels. You can see the front wheels just spinning while the rear have traction. That is odd to see those engines break. I know that they are making more power then they did from the factory btu not that mch that i would think it to make them weak. I never heard of a bike breakin a rod and destroying a engine like that. Definatly badass

seems to me that you would break the engine driving the back wheels first since its having to strain more than than the front engine.

That's a neat little ride, but I'd pimp the Ariel Atom over that any day of the week.

Around 27K british pounds (cheaper)
much easier on the eyes
300hp supercharged vtec motor (more durable than those bike engines apparently)
It's a road worthy roadster
and supposedly it'll run 0-60 in under 3 seconds as well.

It was on Top Gear a while back...the stig put it around the track and it came in slower the Ferrari Enzo, but faster than the Carrera GT...the two fastest cars on their list.

I'd post a link to the video, but I won't be on a home computer for another 2-3 weeks.
