    smart car hybrid 0-60 4.3sec?!!

    wow, this is badass in my opinion (sports bikes do have really efficient motors, just need a light car chassis to put them on).. this guy took a GSXR1000 motor, tweaked it to 180hp, does quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 132mph. I'm curious what sort of gas mileage that motor gets?

    I now realize I shouldn't have titled that "hybrid" because people will think it's a gas/electric hybrid.. I meant because it's an engine swap (people used to call them hybrids anyway).
