Rick Yacoucci's Nebulous Theorem II is proves you don't need jet fuel or even a V8 to hit 300mph. Last year, Yacoucci hit 331mph in the 600hp, twin-turbo hayabusa-powered streamliner (four wheels), and has gone over 300mph with a 1,000 motor as well. Check out the video clips on his site, if you can stand the vertigo. [Thanks to Randy for the tip]
