that is a crazy amount of hp...i raced karts (that looks like the same frame i had) in the formula Y class, it was a 1 piston yamaha engine. i think it put out 30 hp and it was hard to keep on the track. i would rather take that monster to the salt flats, after a 1/4 mile the fun would just be starting...until it takes flight.

I hope that suit comes with armor plating. If that turbo ever decides to blow chunks... GAME OVER, MAN!
