Great Car! Jay shifts all through the gears. I like how the guy utilized drivetrain parts from bmw and mazda.
I don't know why this led me to a vid of an Ariel Atom K20 turbo, and the Rocket car by Gordon Murray. All these lightweight cars make the 86 look like a cow

Wow, sounds amazing!
I wonder how many of the tuned Suzuki Cappucinos I see around here are similarly beastly? Never know what people are shoving under the hood of kei car...

Not a lot of folks out there building fast cars anymore. Most of the GT-Rs parked at speed factory and RAM have Y plates on them these days. No place to run anymore unless you want to get on a ferry to Ie island to drag down the old runway or run around cones in 2nd gear all day at Kartland. |

Thanks for the link. And very cool little 'rod, I bet it is a blast to drive... Next best thing to actually being on a motorcycle. And, I appreciate that Jay pokes around every inch of the cars he showcases. Like a little kid, "what does this do?" |

I do. Why do you have choose? You can't like both things? I want an S600 AND a C7Z07 with a Katech 427.

I absolutely LOVE tiny cars with endearing little motors. Fiat really stands out for that, in my opinion, and the OP's excellent video reminded me of one of my other all-time favorites, also powered by a GSXR-1000 motor...

I dig both those cars strongly. I prefer a little lightweight car with a pissed off engine.
