You guys are bringing down the S/N ratio, so here's something to prop it back up.

Probably one of the highest Noise/Speed ratio clips I've found, this side of that crazy rear end Saab two-stroke rally car vid:

Too bad it's just a replica, because drat, 13hp from a 50cc 4 stroke engine? :black101:

Look closely at the front wheel - at the braking setup in particular. Keep in mind, that this was meant as a race bike.... :aaaaa:


A couple of nice old Ducatis:

Here's another, this time of a hovercraft, umm.... negotiating some turns in a less than conventional manner. I don't care if it was on TTAC or not, it's still a loving cool video.

A guy from a big Swedish bike forum decided that his XR650 was a bit underpowered, so he did what every normal guy would do, turbocharge it, the sound in the end of the movie was apparently from the rear sprocket, that came loose.

Goddamn.... 407km/h confirmed. :monocle:

Here's a brief clip of it from the Silver State Classic - I guess if you're crazy enough to drop that much engine into something, you're just as likely to ship it halfway across the world for a race ;)

I love the part in the middle when it comes flying by at WOT...

Hell, maybe I just love the sound of any vehicle at their top speed, pedal pinned to the floor, engine straining as hard as it can against a wall of air. :black101:

Eh, you turn smoothing on and it's tolerable. I enjoy Clarkson as much as the next guy, but a bit of that seemed heavy-handed, even for him. Maybe it's just that it was non-stop Clarkson-cranked-to-11 for a full hour+.

haha bullshit.

I've had a force fed Lincoln that was a 4V and lighter weight although with half the boost. It was a high 13s car @ 104. No loving way that car is stock except for the turbo and support mods (fuel pump, injectors, MAF). First of all those have open diffs stock and it looks like smoke is coming out from both tires. I bet anything it has a built trans, 4.10s or better, converter and PI heads minimum. Probably has more than that.

EDIT:

Tebone626 on The Corral posted:

it has a built lower, with ported heads, stock cams with 16 lbs of boost. car weighs 4340 with me in it. i built the turbo kit for it.

it has a 255 intank pump the car has a return style fuel system with 60lb injectors. the tranny is built with a pi triple disc converter, set a 3400. i wish the stall was alittle higher, so it would help me off the line, but it's a great converter fro the stree.

Called that poo poo.
