Retards.
Although that may sound impressive The power to weight would be way off. Most 600cc sportbike engines have less than 120hp. Im sure it not much faster than stock. Next time leave the bike engine in the bike.

Maybe he should have used the motor out of a Hyabusa.

Geo tracker's make 95 torque and something around 90 horsepower offa a 1.6L 16 Valve

So I know that Geo has had an upgrade by swapping an engine that's almost 1/3'ed the size... Guessing that Geo used the same engine over and over (either that or the 8 Valve version...)

There are kits around that allow you to drop in Bseries motors from Honda into the older mini coopers. Bone stock it will get the coopers in the mid 12 second range in the 1/4 mile and yes they are RWD..

A GSXR-1000 motor would have been better, 600s make virtually no torque (like 55 ft-lbs to the wheel), and in a car it doesn't do much- just makes a lot of noise. Plus your gear ratios are completely off, because the 600 engine is designed for a 360-lbs bike, not a 2300-lbs plus car.
There was a company in England (I think) that took two Hayabusa 1300cc in-line 4's and make a V-8 outta them using a custom crankcase and flipping one of the heads around. Made a 2.6L DOHC 32v V8 with over 320-hp and 13,000 rpm redline. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
