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

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.

 

[22sa]

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?

 

[Buoysel]

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;

 

[Buoysel]

Anymore and I don't know anymore. ;o;

What?

--

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.

 

[22sa]

lol... How in the world did you get your dream car for only 2% of what I planned to spend for my dream car.

jkjkjk

 

[Buoysel]

I don't have it yet. And you should make some realistic goals first. Another car I would not mind fixing up is a first generation neon. They are very easy to work on.

 

[22sa]

Why are they easy?

Well, realistic: Honda CRX 1991 - $1500
200 HP Hayabusa base engine + turbo - $30000

$31500 better be enough... it better be... it better be.

They are easy, because they are half snapped together, and the other half is only held on by a couple of bolts.

Surprisingly, it is works. The only problem I ever had with a Neon was the head gasket.

$31,000. Will that be cash or credit?

I guess I can join, since I love Dodge Viper's Bugatti Veyrons and Gallardo's:)

It will be short-term credit.

Welcome DarkMaster.

 

[Buoysel]

Welcome friend. No welcome wagon here, sorry.

Jumping back on topic. How do you plan on coming up with $30,000?

I can easily make the money legally in three months.

And what kind of turbo are you buying? I can find a turbo kit for a Neon on eBay for 3k.

 

[Guillermo]

What do you mean by no welcome wagon here? Thanks for the welcome:)

I will easily have 30 grand by I am 18, since I already have 50 grand in my bank haha.

Wow, My balance is 212, And that's only because I just got paid. ^.^'

 

[Guillermo]

Oh well when my pop died before I was born he invested all his money (Which was A LOT!) into the bank, for me, my sister and a few cousins. Since he knew he would die (Smoking!) he sold everything he could and got...about $1000000.

 

[Buoysel]

Must be nice to have money. I have to work for everything I have, and want.

Sorry to hear that about your dad. My grandma died form throat cancer caused by smoking.

Moving back on cars:

Whats your favorite brand?

I always wanted to say: Mopar or no car. But I drive a Honda, so I cant say that.

I am really impressed with my Honda. So I am going to have to say Dodge, followed closely by Honda, but only pre 1995. They started crapping out on there designs after that.
