This is hilarious and didn't even know existed until last night.

Ppl use smart cars and put these crotch rocket engines in them.

Don't believe the power?

I actually have a guy I was hanging out with last night that has ridden in one and said it is nuts. He can get one of these engines for about $2000.

AND it is possible in our cars if you are willing to to turn it into a racer/dragster.

I couldn't stop laughing.

One more vid, but of no racing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV4HdsDZX6c&feature=related

alright. maybe not monster. but it has to fall in some category...

maybe once the turbo is up and running we can get some off-road video?!

ther'es a busa engine in a older vw rabbit. i think it's twin turbo. look under the hood and it's all pipes. any way, it's quick. very quick.

Nothing new...you guys haven't seen the Geo Metro powered by a Hayabusa motor. It was in the 24 Hours of Lemons.

There is also someone currently making a swap kit for the miata...Here it is...

Get with the times people. Sometimes I feel old and I'm only 24.

Thanks for the sarcasm.

Maybe some of us aren't as cool as you are and didn't realize that this was widespread.

Now, I am glad you shot your e-peen load in here.

Feel better? lol
