Badass X1/9 hillclimb car

interesting, I"ve never seen a hillclimb with coned-out chicane areas like that...

Wow... sure that's not an RC car? :)

Holy balls that guy is driving that car on the edge.

I've seen chicaned roads in hillclimbs before, probably need to cut down top speeds for FIA reasons.

for example.

Nice Suzuki sticker, where was that shot?

based on some of the roadside signs, I'd guess Italy.

I saw Bill Caswell had this posted on this wall. That Fiat is absolutely nuts, and the driver is incredible. He is at the limit for the whole thing

Is there any point where that Fiat isn't sliding at least a little? He was steering from the ass end of the car the whole time, it looked like.

Think he's got a Hyabusa engine in that thing? Sounds very motorcycle-esque to me.

Any penalty for hitting a cone ?

It does sound motorcycleeeee. I love the nose on the car and the rear fenders ain't too bad either.

We need an article on that car.

I saw that on another board turbo hayabusas and sequential 6 speed with 240 hp

S? Plural?

Twin Hyabusa engines?

What an incredible car!! The course needs fewer chicanes though.

Sorry typing on the I phone just 1 as far as I know

I'm in love with that car now, thanks.

That thing may actually be faster than the rust which has claimed so many of its brothers.

My understanding was that it was running a GSX-R1000 engine, but can't find any of the decent links about it.
