If you have a problem with Jesus, take it to him in prayer, or PM. I like to take jabs at julie. He takes jabs at me. Thats just how it is… There is no pissing match. And yes I’m off topic in the sacred non OT section. I have nothing worthwhile to contribute here… ---

its not turbocharged its naturaly aspirated its not the hayabusa I-4 … its aa V8 derived from the busa engine and theres a world of difference between a cars top speed and a motorcycles top speed, cars have a whole lot more lost HP (wider tires, more tires, more bearings in the suspension, larger brake rotors, heavier wheels, much heavier transmission internals) add in alot more wind resistance, and more rolling restance from the tires, and you loose ALOT of top end compared to a motorcycle 160 is still a damn nice number (and in an open car, it would probably scare the shit out of ALOT of people) … ive seen 150mph+ … its definantly a mind fuck to watch mile markers go bye looking like tracer rounds out of a machine gun ---

160 would feel about like 300 in that thing. that guy’s site was fascinating. he sounds like an awesome dude. > [@past cars section](#): > > I’ll remember for a long time.
