Wow, 13,200 rpm

Did not know we had a super-bike motor back there. Makes me want to find a hacker and raise the limiter to a more modest 9000 rpm or so to get maybe 80-85 hp. Would love the hear the noise at that level!

If people are *****ing about fuel mileage on the stock one, can you just imagine the mileage on a smart feeding two motors? For the price, it is pretty cool though.

The next plateau will be for those performance numbers BUT driven by independent front wheel ELECTRIC motors , a battery bank and a plug to plug it into your wall socket......

Added about a foot to the body up front - all in all, VERY nicely done.

Gotta love Photoshop.

I like the front fender intake integrated with the body line. Makes me think of a squashed BMW M Coupe with that little hood bulge.
