Jeez thats some wedge to spend, how close do Hayabusa conversions get to those sort of speeds ??

Seem a lot of money

Occasionally pops to Tesco in it! I bet it goes fast enough to turn the milk into butter!

I want to know what hes running, I wwould struggle to spend that much money if I am honest unless everything was custom built.

obviously rear engined, Id guess some sort of bike lump

ford st170 engine i think??

Was an ST170 engine last I heard and I think you’ll find a proper drag racing gearbox for one of those is probably easily £10k.

just put this on fb, and got ragged on it by a few who think they know everything :L just criticising it and saying supra’s are better,

i don’t want to live on this planet any more…

He says it isnt road legal due to it not having plates, a boot and its on slicks, i think he may be retarded ?

Funny how *The Sun* feels compelled to insert a totally random made up “fact”

“…the Veyron – favourite of X Factor kingpin Simon Cowell.”

Just read some of the comments, wow, shows the intellect of the average sun reader

I think you’ll probably find the 90k includes the previous engines…

I remember when this was in one of the mini mags with CVH in the back! its come a long way since then though

Is this the yellow one seen drag racing on YouTube?
