A standard Suzuki Hayabusa has the following statistics:

1/4 mile: 9.62 seconds @ 149.7 mph
0–60 mph: 2.60 seconds
0–180 mph: 15.9 seconds

With the addional weight (Hayabusa is around 230KG, SmartBusa will be about 600KG) but with the lowered gearing to our advantage. I would hope the 0.60 to be about 3.4 seconds.

The standard hayabusa does 90mph in 1st and 117mph in 2nd, so you can see how lowering the gearing will be to my advantage (i'd still like 60mph in 1st gear).

Obviously i won't know exactly how quick until the car is completed and i can run some real tests.
