Pat Riot Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Wow! My Miata is small. That car is tiny.  I found a site with some specs. Get out your calculators, boys. It’s all in metric. Top speed = 77.6 mph Basically a 494cc engine pushing 20 hp? My Kawasaki Versus 650 does 77 hp. Maybe Aussie horses are stronger than Japanese horses…that’s gotta be it. Or it could be because of the 2 stroke engine. Holy Cow, the thing only weighs 880 pounds.  Here are the specs. http://microcarmuseum.com/tour/zeta.html   Edited August 9 by Pat Riot Chart didn’t work out 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Not much protection in a collision. Â Might as well be on a motorcycle. Â Hope the owners signed their organ donor cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
