Lotsa hot HP

[Cody Forbes]

Thats a guy I know actually! He's out of Ft. Lauderdale about 15min south of
me. Video is shot on an out of the way highway called Aligator Alley. He
actually is doing 243mph. 0-200 in round about 16 seconds, holds the front
wheel off the ground from 50mph to 140mph (stopped there from fear of being
blown over backwards by the drag) then pinned it and runs up to 243mph.
450hp out of a 1.3l 4cyl. Suzuki Hayabusa is the name of the bike, but his
has a nicely made OEM looking 'Turbo Hayabusa' badge. He actually owns a few
of them. You can find videos on his website - http://www.superkaos.com. Also
more Hayabusa powered fun is a guy known as Turbo Rick who recently took a
617hp (I'll show ya the chart if you want!) 1.3l 4cyl turbocharged Hayabusa
engine to Bonneville in a streamliner and ran 313mph. E-mail me if you want
that in-car video as I lost the link.
