HayabusaSMARTCAR/Mini-Busa/Z-Cars!!!

I know this is probably not really anything new(especially if u live in Europe) but I recently discovered a Smart Car with a Suzuki Hayabusa engine in it and it is ridiculous...Now Ive heard of taking a Hayabusa Engine and putting it in other things but this was crazy!!! I also discovered they put them in Older Mini Coopers too, and race them in the UK and I read on the website that they are called "Z Cars"??? I thought that this was really cool and those lil things are Crazy Fast & I first saw them on Youtube & I know a lil about them and would like to know more....I mean I live in the USA and we have lil cars ppl race called "Dwarf Cars" but these are usually raced on a dirt track and the "Z cars" in the UK look more intersting to me....So if anyone out there has more Videos, Pics, or Info about this I would appreciate learning more....thanks....
