    They have enough trouble getting power to ground without a load in them due to there being no weight over the rear

    Ok... this may be a stupid question... but

    Thats a lot of HP... but what would that equate to in terms of top speed?

    Theoretically I'd imagine... think about the structural damage at that speed, especially considering half the engine is outside the bonnet, which itself has three bloody great holes in it.

    Would be fun to try though

    Cool, a $100k+ road car that'll get shat on by a $10k bike in almost any situation. That said it's pretty damn mean, it looks like it's smiling from the front ;D.
