This is one of my favorite episodes. It's a real project car from a normal and reasonable guy.

He hears a motorcycle, OK, he's waiting, and then this thing comes screaming around the curve with Leno & Mat laughing like a couple maniacs and hammering gears like there's no tomorrow. He'd probably spend 30 minutes getting them to show him all the trick stuff that Matt did in building it. A close friend of my family is a retired CHP and he's told me about that sort of situation. He's gotten to check some really unusual custom bit that some guy built in his garage. He's said it is just amazing the creativity that some guys pour into one of these things.

I do agree with that but high strung bike engines are just not good for the public, they require lots of maintenance, and honestly a sport bike with 30k miles is high mileage.

Worth it though. Even if you have to drop a new motor in every 30k miles it is still cheaper to maintain than a Porsche. Sportbikes aren't for everyone either, but Honda makes a bunch of those. Why not a car?

Like Jay said, this little car makes all the right sounds ! Who needs a sound system when you have a 12000 rpm rocket sled doing the talking ! This little project puts the fun back into the art-form of California hotrodding ! Great job Matt ! And thank you Jay for featuring this little hot rod ! For those who haven't yet seen the build process video, I HIGHLY recommend Matt's 2 part video of the thought process, and trial and error effort that went into this project !

I sold mine try to another 600 owner.
