This company should find a way to mass produce the prodcut and gewt it into some tuner magazines
The guy who mentioed the Lotus Elise was spot on, perfect example of a great intended street use, (as a factory option!). Also it would go under the hood of the Honda S2000, or even a Miata, since 10 years ago guy were cramming 5.0 mustang engines in those.
But the Tuner crowd will have this shoehorned into Acura’s, Honda Civics, Sudaru WRX and Mitsu Lancer’s and add Turbo’s and NOS.
For me, it would really wake up my 91 BMW E30 318is coupe, but $10k is more than the
For Motorcycling I like my Italian V-Twins, Ducati and Aprilia, But the ‘Busa Engine is bullet proof in the bike,and making a 2.8 liter V8 for street cars seem like a viable production product. Hell Suzuki makes CARS, they should run with this and produce their own butch little car, sexy or boxy, hell throw the V8-busa in the ugly, cheep “Suzuki Esteem or SX4″ 4-door Piece of S—,! Its already All Wheel Drive! add 17″ wheels, coil overs, body kit, and real sport seats, and just sell it to the mad public for about $20k with their 7 year 100,000 mile warrenty.

i really think some one should build a dreag bike chaisse for the 2.6 or 2.8 hayabusa it would have to be pupouse built cause of the rotation of the engine and the masive torque it makes that would be something to see!!

I been doin’ some measurements with my Lotus Elise for this motor/6-speed sequential box… could be made to work pretty easy. Would certainly kick some serious ASS !!! Need pricing and more/more accurate measurements for closer analysis… Any help would be much appreciaed (I’ne already spect’d an appreoriate brake/tire-wheel package…)
