Seriously, only 150 Torque? I wonder if that can make a hatchback accelerate to 60 miles/h in under 5.0 seconds. 200 HP is good enough though I guess, for a small car.

And I haven no idea what that car in that pic is.

That's stock, put a K&N air filter on, turbo it, heater, exhaust, parts are chap, check eBay.

When heavy accelerating, I shift out of third at 75.

Miles/H? Hey that's really good : P. I would want my car focused on acceleration.

8k with 150 torque stock eh? Bringing it to 10k would require a whole new engine right? Meh... did you work today?

Yes I worked today. If you want a car that goes 0 to 60 in less than 5 sec, buy a new challenger. Because You will be spending a hole cape load of money on fixing a car up.

Did I mention that my car has 285,000 miles on it?

V8s don't typically go over 6k rpm. inline 4 usually don't go more than 7k.

10k is really high, and I mean really high. Like I said, get a motor cycle engine.

A challenger's too heavy & big... I want a car that's Impreza-size or smaller. Like I said, can a motorcycle engine work in a car? Can its torque and HP go over 240?

lmao That's an insane amount of milege. I wonder if there's any car that's hit 1 million.

Are you going to study Aerospace Engineering at Uni?

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.

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.

Newer huh, Well I don't know the exact year of this car, I want to say 80's, but I'm not sure.

Good luck. It is not an American car.

Damn it.

I drove that car in Gran Turismo 4...

It's a Renault SOMETHING....

GAAAH
 
*Dark Vader Voice*Impressive!

The Renault 5, or in America, "Le Car".

Want a new one? Want to quiz me?
 
I can't figure out if it's a Dodge or a Chrysler (it's from that era in Chrysler where they had that 5-star emblem).

I can't figure out the model either.

It IS a Mopar.

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 tinypic.com
