A sock Challenger still runs 12 seconds. Not to mention you would have one of the most wanted cars in America. This video has a Smart Car that uses a Hayabusa engine.

Image of Hayabusa http://www.wanderingsandmusings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/08hayabusa.jpg



The highest I have ever personally seen is 667,000. It was on a 1999 Dodge Van that was used by an airport as a shuttle van. It had a rod though the block.

BTW it is not uncommon for a big rig to rack up over a million miles.

Two things:

One I did not know where UNI was until I Googled it a few seconds ago.

And number two: How did you know I wanted to study Aerospace Engineering? o.O
Well, mechanical and aerospace engineering so you can get an official degree on cars & do more stuff. :P

Wow! That's really, really cool. Hayabusa engine... I take it it costs a lot though? Got an ruff idea of the price of buying & installing a Hayabusa engine?

No, sorry no price, I would guess less than 15 K for the Hayabusa bike. Hayabusas are a stock 10 second bike. That would be good enough for me.

Toyota Yaris base - $14k
Bike with awesome engine - $20k
Replacing engine - $4k (or will the labour be more then this?)

$38k? :P lol I can almost buy an Impreza with that. Darn it.

Btw how did that smart car go so fast... Wikipedia mentioned the Hayabusa is only 171 HP... that's not a lot. I realize the smart car is very light but is 171 HP really all it took for it do what it did?

But I like the bike performance. 0-60 mph 2.77 seconds. Kickass. But I get a hatchback it would be a) bigger then Smart, c) I wouldn't take out any seats... my car will probably be 1.3x as heavy as the Smart they tested...
would it still be able to reach 290 km/h or 0-100 km/h in under 5 seconds?

Smart - 810 kg
Yaris - 1010 kg
Focus - 1420 kg

Focus would definately be too big.

Sorry I'm not an import guy. (Ironically I drive a Honda (Dam gas prices)). I'm an American Muscle type of guy, Mopar.

Horse power does not matter. I know that does not make since, but Torque matters more.

I had one, the funnest car I ever drove. Chrysler Laser. I could jerk the well going down the road at more that 50 mph, and never break the tires loose. I need to get me on of them again.

These two pics are form that car:

No, I understand. It's Torque that matters when acceleration is in question, but the Hayabusa bike only has 103 torque!

How can just 103 torque make the 810 kg smart car accelerate so fast? I don't get it... is it because of the 11k rev? But 103 is really, really normal, it's hard to imagine the 11k suddenly made the 103 torque smart car perform like a super car. I really don't get it. I like this engine for its rpm, but its bike's specs are actually quite low... that Smart car must've had some other Hayabusa engine perhaps?

I can't see those links, btw. Try *.com

The car is just a body. Everything has been striped, and that engine is not stock.

The Hayabusa's bike stats are quite impressive. Stock they run 10 seconds in the quarter mile.

15 seconds is considered quick. Anything under 14, is consider pretty quick.

13 seconds is "holy **** that was fun."

Anything under 12 seconds will pin you to the back of your seat.

I'm guess you have never been thrown back in your seat have you? And I'm not talking set you back, I'm talking violently thrown in to the seat. It's like having a really big guy pressing on your chest. You kinda of sink in to the seat.

Hmm... so the Smart's Hayabusa engine was not stock; it was upgraded.... how powerful do you imagine that Smart car's Hayabusa engine is then?

Yeah 10 seconds is like a super car I don't need thaaaat fast. But I do want something like 4.6 second 0-60 mph.

Yeah I've never felt that big an impact. I've only driven 1.8L Front Wheel Drives at best.

Why do you think I like V8's. It is the trill of a life time.

What is your dream project car, and what do you plan on putting into it?

Late 80's Dodge Diplomat Cop Car edition.

Have the heads and intake ported, high compression pistons, racing intake, high performance carb, K&N air filter, Headers, exhaust,

Out side, I want the car to look like a normal 4 door granny car.

I want a sleeper. How do you like your rice, steamed or fired?

Oiii... don't overlook my question. What do you reckon the specs that non-stock Hayabusa engine of that Smart car were? xD

What's a sleeper? Why granny look =o

I like my rice both ways equally XP

Dream car project:

~[A super cute Toyota Yaris-size 3-door hatchback], 1100 kg, Manual Transmission
~11k RPM Engine, Supercharger and/or Turbocharger, racing upgrades, 250 HP and Torque
~Awesome cute anime car stickers on it

A sleeper is a car that looks completely stock, and then blows your door off.

Granny cars, are cars that look like a car that a grandma would drive.



Body style of a mid 80's Diplomat.



My car won't have the light bar on top. And I don't know the specks on that engine.

Yeah, that'd be awesome a car that looks like nothing but is actually a true monster under the hood haha.

But according to your knowledge, how much can you really increase an 103 Torque Hayabusa engine by?

An engine is like a vacuum cleaner, the more air you can move though it, the better. Anything that allows or puts more air though the engine the better.

To answer your question, a lot. It all depends on how deep your pocket is.

How's an additional $38k investment after buying the car and the bike? Anymore and I don't know anymore. ;o;

Total cost for my dream,

1986 Retired cop car, $986 on ebay.

Cam, Headers, and a High Performance Carb, $668.98

Blowing the door off of the ricer beside you, priceless.
