    Did I read that correct 270 HP ??? I sure hope not... awful lot of trouble to pick up 75 HP over stock!!

    Well after alittle internet search it's actually 2 Kawasaki motors not Suzuki motors and it makes 356 HP and it is a turn key drop in motor all yours for $70,000. Still think there are easier and cheaper ways to come up with 356 HP though..

    It sounds GREAT and they put it in the right chassis.

    The super charged standard engine in the WC car is over 300hp and I know it didn't cost $70k

    In case anyone doesn't know, that's two Suzuki Hayabusa 1200-four motors joined to make a V8.

    Having discussed Colin Chapman recently, he would be a great fan of the light, powerful engines fitted in today's sportsbikes.

    They have found the ultimate niche market there. Somewhere between 1 and -1.

    My favorite will always be the classic Mini with turbo'd 'Busa engine setup. Such a little beast!
