Anyone have any experience with a Thunder Roadster? Thinking of maybe picking one up as a fun track day car. Figure it'll be relatively inexpensive to run.

replace the engine with something good and I think you'll be on to something. the Yamaha FJ 1200 mill isn't a spectacular powerplant.

Lots of them have been re-engined with a Hayabusa swap. 200hp is a lot for those little things.

Yeah, I was thinking that and the LMP style bodywork. Maybe add boost? They seem pretty inexpensive...

Do they use a transmission like a car or just an adaptor attached to the factory transaxle?
