My 1973 Austin Mini is powered by a 2002 SUZUKI GSXR 1000 motor in the rear of the car that produces 180 HP, revs to 13,000 rpm, and powers the car to 0 -60 mph in 3.6 seconds!!
Has 6-speed sequential gearbox and a reverse mechanism. Powered through a Ford limited-slip diff and Ford driveshafts and CV joints.
Weighs 1057 lbs, yes..... 1057lbs, which gives an incredible power-to-weight ratio of 330 bhp per ton! Front-mounted fuel tank and radiator enable ideal 50/50 weight distribution.
Body is a Mk3 model with real carbon fiber roof and Miglia arches. Has fiberglass doors, bootlid and one-piece front end.
Space-framed front and rear, with fully-adjustable suspension and Protech adjustable shocks. Aluminum rear trailing arms are adjustable for toe and camber. Front suspension is double wishbone-type with aluminum top arms and inboard Protech dampers. Fully adjustable for caster, camber and toe.

Seats are Motordrive models. Has 5-point harnesses.
For road use, it has headlights, turn signals, horn and wipers.
Comes with clear acrylic windows all the way around. I drive with them out, but you have the option to put them in if you would like.
Car has around 1000 miles on it and has a clean title and is 100% Street Legal, and I do drive it around town. Absolutely the most popular car at any car show, as well as the fastest at the track. The car will destroy 911's, corvettes, vipers..pretty much anything out there. Spend $50k building your own or buy mine! Car is sold as is and no warranty.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

Mini celebrates racing success with John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Dakar Winner 2013
Tue, 05 Mar 2013French drivers Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottret drove a Mini Countryman to a class win at this year's Dakar Rally, and to commemorate their win, Mini has introduced a limited-volume car that will only be sold in France. The Mini John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Dakar Winner 2013 might be a mouthful to say, but it's a fitting tribute to Peterhansel's eleventh Dakar win as this Countryman is painted to look like the rally car and only 11 will be sold in the Peterhansel's home country.
Sporting a similar green-over-matte-black paint scheme as the Dakar Countryman, the JCW Countryman ALL4 Dakar Winner 2013 also adds green accents to the full-length top and side stripes, the side marker lights and also contrasting stitching inside the cabin. Adding to the car's rally look, this special edition will also include the racers' number card on the front doors, Dakar decals on the front and rear and Peterhansel's signature on the hood. Grille-mounted rally lights, bright red brake calipers and unique 19-inch wheels with dark-painted inserts finish off the exterior design.
