Tiger Z100 by Z CarsSeveral times I've mentioned the shops building cars powered by motorcycle engines because the engines are just so powerful and their size so compact. I dropped by Z Cars and now I notice their Tiger Z100WR that is powered by two ZX12R engines and manages 0-60 in a mere 2.9 seconds. That's as fast or faster than most bikes. The plain old Z100 uses two ZX9 engines so it only does 0-60 in 3.11. I like the engineering and the looks, like the Caterham or old Lotus. Bet it's one helluva lot of fun.

    only one engine, but the gearbox they use reverses the 6 speed hayabusa tranny when backwards travel is required…they managed to find someone to do top speed testing in reverse and got over 100 mph! scary!

T-Rex 3 wheelerA couple of weeks ago I was talking about what I called the "universal engine" concept, where I said you can put almost any engine into any vehicle if it has the proper power characteristics. I'm not sure "motorcycle engines" or "car engines" really exist. Yesterday I pointed to the SR8, a racecar with a modified Hayabusa engine and today I found the T-Rex three wheeler, powered by an S&S V Twin, usually found in choppers. Engines are cool and whatever you happen to wrap them in is OK by me.
