Why don't we get really cool cars in the US. I know the Smart car has been here for two years, but if it had been here longer they would be cheap enough to do this to.
This thing is absolutely wicked. And apparently, this is not the only type. I've also run across one with a ZX10, and other Busa powered cars like small Fiat's and Mini's. I would get in soooooo much trouble with this, but man it would be fun.

Busa powered Smart car.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.
Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....
I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

Re: Busa powered Smart car.
Cad,
its cornering ability is crap straight line fine.
The guy I bought my FZR from deals Busa and other big bike engines for Kit Cars, he has one with a Ducati 998 rollcage is all and f'glass body that thing leaves rubber for a 100ft he loves it and he owns a Porche, a Ferrari, & a Lambo aswell as anumber of ex-works bikes like steve Parrishes TZ 750 or was it a Suzuki kettle he has so much "stuff" in that warehouse (cannot call the size of that building a garage for sure.
OH yeh did you guys ever see abrit comedy called only fools & horses?
The three wheeler car in that is astanding joke to most brits , but you can drive it on a M'cycle licence.
So this guy gets one and gets a citation for doing 126 MPH or some such high number. It goes to court and the officer says he radar trapped this 3 wheeler at 126 what ever . The judge just laughed at him & threw out the case Saying every one knows that those tinker toys cannot do that speed , and only half that & then only with a tailwind and down a hill.
The guy walks, trouble is the judge did not know the engine was now a BLOWN Busa with nitro to go.

Ya, but you got to admit that it would be one fun ride. Makes me want a racing style gocart even more than before.

I built a RD400 (68BHP) powered Kart when I taught car mech & metal work at a private school in the west Indies. That was plenty scary I would not want to tempt fate with a'busa powered jobby for sure.
