CARBON FIBER Honda Z600
I found these pics on a Japanese website and I thought they were worth sharing....one is just what a stock Honda Z600 looks like and the others are the All Carbon Fiber Z600 with a Hayabusa Engine.....Look how small the car is comapred to the CRX beside it, and a CRX is small...

My best mate's mum bought a metallic purple 360cc Honda Zot brand new and kept it for 11 years. It was a trusty little family runabout and I got to drive it plenty - iirc the V-max was 72 mph @ 7,000 rpm

I've also driven a Scamp 360N with the 2-speed Hondamatic auto - don't ask

Looks like an awesome little thing. Only thing that pisses me off is the huge spoiler up front.

Selling hayabusa engines must be good business for Suzuki, people seems to put them into all kind of things/cars.

Gotta be a hoot to drive, but does that thing even count as a Honda anymore?

Anyone else notice that the engine is in the passenger seat? Amazingly awesome for F/R weight distribution, but makes you wonder about left/right balance.

The spoiler is probably necessary... that car's gotta weigh nearly nothing, and the engine's mid mounted. It needs something to hold the front down.

Hey guys I did a little research on this and found a bit of INFO...

160 HP Hayabusa powered, custom tube frame chassis, full carbon fiber one piece body. 1100lbs

I found a Video on Youtube of it, but it was its first time on the track, which was just an AutoCross event and it didnt have the wings on it and it just took it easy around the track for some reason so it wasnt an exciting video....here are some more pics though.....

I doubt the engine is much heavier than most drivers and would certainly not disturb the balance as much as a driver in a regular car.

The Bus engine would be in the 80-100kg range, so you're probably right.
