Can't wait till after X-mas so I can stuff a Jackson Racing Monstercharger under the hood of my go-cart.

No, I was exagerating a tad but not by much. The latest bikes are around 370lbs and produce 180hp that's stock with no modifications. So around 2lbs per hp.

And if you have a Hayabusa you can bolt on a turbo and produce over 350 r.w.h.p. Vid of it is on this site. LS1Tech.com Go to the multi media exchange and look in there.

True, but some of us prefer going fast through corners rather then just straight lines. :-)

my car is about 5 and a half pounds per hp. This is on a short wheelbase with street legal equipment. It makes for and interesting car to drive. It has been trying to kill me on and off for allmost 30 years. I try to keep it from killing me...

So far.... I am winning.
