2008 T-Rex 1400R Road Test (video)

If you're a speed freak, here's tangible proof that you don't need a pricey exotic supercar to tattoo a smile on your face and draw attention. You see, the T-Rex is powered by a 1,352-cc, 16-valve Kawasaki inline-4. The engine gets air shoved down its throat by a roof-mounted air scoop, and develops 200 horsepower. Your initial reaction might be to say that it's not enough for hunting down Corvettes and 911s, but one important number needs to be known: the T-Rex weighs only 1,000 pounds, or 455 kg.
