A Hayabusa doesn't produce enough torque to normally power a heavier vehicle. You'd have to have really short gearing to compensate for the lack of torque. There is a better option though. There are companies that make Hayabusa V8s, and you can get those super- or turbocharged.

[@warkus123]

180hp may not sound like a lot, but at that low weight that's like having 630hp in that mustang for power to weight. But it looses in top end of course cause top speed is factor of horsepower and aerodynamics, and a Mini isn't exactly aerodynamic.

[@anomuumit]

Just goes to show you how insane the power to weight ratio is for motorcycles. There is a reason why they still use NA engines for the most part.

[@warkus123]

@@anomuumit And a turbo takes up space, which there's a severe lack of in bikes and ads weight, which makes the bike tougher to handle. And because they're light and never have to worry about towing or carrying a lot, torque isn't important, so high reving NA is more logical than turbo. Plus the boost of a turbo kicking in can be downright deadly on a bike, throwing you into an unexpected wheelie or drift that can throw you off the bike if you're not very experienced, so NA is safer for mass market too. But yeah when they're boosted like the Ninja H2R or some crazy aftermarket stuff, they become completely nuts that no car could ever dream of keeping up with.

[@lazarushernandez5827]

I think the Mini's gearing also plays a factor here.

[@warkus123]

@@lazarushernandez5827 well yeah but when you got bad aero and low power there's not really any point in gearing it for 180mph it'll max out at like 130-140mph or so anyway so why not gear it for ultimate acceleration but low top speed?

[@nigeldepledge3790]

A nice illustration of how power-to-weight matters more at low speeds, but power-to-drag matters more at higher speeds. The Mini will always take off quicker than the Mustang; but the Mustang will always catch and pass the Mini. By the same token, if you put them on a racing circuit, the Mini will be quicker on tight, twisty circuits; whereas the Mustang will be quicker on something with fewer corners and long straights.

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

The problem is the size of the disks. You can't fit anything big in that wheel.

Fitting dual calipers would help, but he saved the tires. Without ABS hard braking shreds your tires! Also there are brakes you need a warm up lap to work well.

as soon as aerodynamics start to influence the speed - you win over the mini

[@ethelmini]

It's not aerodynamics. The Mini's aren't that bad and being small counts as much. It's power. The faster you go, the more goes to overcoming drag & the less that colossal weight advantage counts.

I called it that the Ford was going to win! The motorcycle engine is all about quick acceleration, while the car engine has more torque and a higher top speed an example of what I mean is lets take a look at the Ford GT is like a racehorse. It can take off super fast and fly down the road. But then you have the Ford F-150 Shelby Raptor, which is more like a strong draft horse. It’s built to pull heavy loads and handle tough terrain. It might not be as quick as the GT, but it’s got the power to get the job done, especially off-road. So smaller engines like those in motorcycles give you that quick burst of speed, while bigger engines, like in the Raptor, let you tow and haul heavy stuff. (yes I asked Chat GPT for help writing this LMAO)

Thumbs up to the person who writes their description! Get ready for one of our weirdest drag races yet! Mat’s rolled up to the start line in a Ford Mustang. It’s been lent to him by Clive Sutton, and its 5-litre naturally-aspirated V8 has been tuned to increase the power from 450hp to 490hp. It also produces 530Nm of torque and tips the scales at 1,730kg. As you would expect, it’s also rear-wheel-drive only. Alongside him is another rear-wheel-drive car, but this is no ordinary car! It’s a classic Mini which has had its regular engine swapped with one from a Suzuki Hayabusa motorbike! As a result, this little Mini can produce 180hp & 150Nm! It’s super light as well, weighing in at just 500kg! So what do you think will happen here - will the Mustang power to victory? Or will the super light Mini snatch it? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!
