Well the site seems relatively reputable...but I wouldn't go for it, seeing as there's no news of a production 4.0 yet.

A guy at work got his hands on a few specailly-made motors for his Bits: 5.0! I should ask him to bring one in so I can see how fast that thing is.

I don't think he did, I think he may have some R specs and be calling them 5.0s because nobody really knows how fast the R spec turns.

No. They say it provides "up to 30% more speed" than a 2.6. That would only be 3.38. Just look at their prices - they want $15.50 for the Pylons that we sell for $3!

He's had it for a while, long before the R-Spec came out. He has family and friends over in Japan, and one of them hooked him up with these. He said somebody made them custom, and only made 1 or 2 hundred of them. But I haven't seen it run, I'm just going on what he's told me.

Those prices are outrageous!!!

$14.50 for a drift set
$15.00 for a 2.6
$14.50 for 3 sets of colored tires

Who are they kidding?!
