Hartley Enterprises - V8 for a clubbie

Frank pointed me to the following website:

http://www.h1v8.com/

These guys have bolted two Suzuki Hayabusa engines together, and made a 400bhp engine that revs over 10,000 rpm on stock everything. Madness. They have quoted a price under $USD30K for the whole thing - hmmm, upgrade, anyone?

According to the website, it does tend to break traction in nearly every gear, which would make it a handful to drive, I would imagine. Or that may just be sour grapes.....but in the video's the back end does step out a lot, even when he's not pushing it.
