Snowmobile

Haha, stupid redneck spor... hOOly shit that thing is fast!

In the LiveLeak comments for this, autowolf says:

sleds tend to have lower top speed numbers compared to say sports bikes etc because spinning that track requires an incredible amount of effort. That snowmobile might be making 300 or so hp but its top speed probably wont be much over 130. The thing is it will get to 120 in about five seconds. A really built out race sled will have a power to weight ratio similar to a formula 1 car. most stock snowmobiles will have one equal to about half that of a formula one car. an average weight sled with a 150 or so hp engine will be sitting at around 500 HP per ton

I liked this vid, would've posted it myself if @oohlalasassoon hadn't

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by eric3579.

This unfortunate story states that these things can go over 160mph, but that's for $40,000 models that run on asphalt with wheels. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/04/man_killed_in_cicero_snowmobil.html

I want an asphalt-ready snowmobile!?? WTF?!!

...thought they only worked on snow w/henchmen with machine guns-
