1300cc suzuki Haybusa engines are popular add a turbo or supercharger and a few more things and a large sack of cash and you are looking at a min of 350bhp.

Performance bikes did a project with holeshot racing and got a busa up to 600bhp (i think) to go after the UK road legal land speed record... 240-258 i think they were hitting with
the owner of of Holeshot (jack frost) on board.

the Z cars are very cool as sublte as a kick in the pods and not really an every day car BUT would be sooo much fun  :grin:

Minis only weigh about 650kg don't they? I could be wrong, but the power to weight ratio of that car with just 160bhp would be insane.

holeshot/z-cars/hudderfield minis spares built one with a 400bhp turbo busa engine in , now imagin the faces of some very very very expensive cats as that little mini hunted them down spitting flames and revving to 15000rpm  :evil: i want one so bad
