Forget Boost.. Gimme Hyabusa!!
This is hilarious and didn't even know existed until last night.
Ppl use smart cars and put these crotch rocket engines in them. Don't believe the power? Check this vid, I don't want to spoil it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtWeSa3naKk I actually have a guy I was hanging out with last night that has ridden in one and said it is nuts. He can get one of these engines for about $2000. AND it is possible in our cars if you are willing to to turn it into a racer/dragster. I couldn't stop laughing. One more vid, but of no racing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV4Hd...eature=related

Maybe some of us aren't as cool as you are and didn't realize that this was widespread. Now, I am glad you shot your e-peen load in here. Feel better? lol
