Bike powered cars.

Been looking through all sorts recently on PH's, and to be honest I wasn't really wanting anything quick etc, I've got my focus which suprisingly is quite fun to drive ESP in the corners :D

 

Today I've been looking at muscle cars, I quite liked a few new shape mustangs but had a quick glance at bike powered cars also, and my god I couldn't believe the price...

I've not really missed the Supra since it's gone but these got my attention, anyone got one?

the busa powered one.... 800 bhp per tonne :drool:

 

That's the thing that caught my eye, most weigh sub 500kg's so you don't need loads of power to be very quick, plus if you buy a Hayabusa engined one turbo kits are available and also the R1's you can buy supercharger kits if you ever fancy ripping the skin of your face :D

I would recommend getting a shot in one mate. They are great on track, all be it a bit of a handfull, but on the roads they leave a lot to be desired. My mate has one, it isn't hugely powerful (around 150hp) but it can really accelerate.

Stu had a ZX12 powered fomula 27 for a while, i used it a few times, quickish to a 100mph, not much after that, only thing i say is i felt very vulnerable in it, I feel safer on a motorbike tbh.

 

I felt a bit like that too. Felt as if I hung out over the top of it if you know what I mean.

I like the look of these as well... Bike powered ones appeal because you can get paddle shift gears and then you can get clutchless WOT gear changes :D

 

I have driven a race spec one around a track in south Africa and it's was awesome fun. Road is a different story.....

Never looked at z-cars Minis? Someone in the Bournemouth mini club has a busa powered black mini with carbon arches... looks and sounds and goes lovely :)

 

I'm over 6 foot mate, I'd either be driving from the back seat or have one with a sun roof :)
