    I keep hearing that word "budget"... and keep seeing carbon fiber pieces on a race-spec Mini with two engines... must be one hell of a budget.
  • @s0nnyburnett
    I like the passion and pride the guy shows that's missing from a lot of owners.
  • GOD I LOVE THIS. What lots of people don't think about is how light that car actually is. And 500 hp might not be SUPER impressive to some people used to watching Jay's show (having some 1000 hp and up cars) that's impressive for a little mini. Not to mention whenever you do a 2 engine car, the torque to hp ratio is just unbelievable. I bet that thing pulls like a beast. So awesome.
  • @ManS1ayr
    jay's face while driving that was great, says it all, he looked terrified
  • @Barnacules
    I want to see this on a WRC stage so bad.
  • @jonnycollison
    This looks like a really interesting little project, everything looks done to a good standard I don't know why the builder seems slightly embarrassed by it, it looks brilliant fun.
  • @MrGnarman
    "more money than brains" "done on a budget"  pick one, jay...
  • @SoberRacing
    "Obviously you are doing this on a budget.." As he holds a carbon fiber rear hatch
  • @MrSpirit99
    I want one for no reason. That look of Jay when the tiny car accelerates, priceless.
  • @thejoshbtv
    Although it is incredibly impracticle and seems like a tuning nightmare, that is extremely cool
  • @januszj.8547
    Its a beautiful racing car , even Jay leno was impressed by the engineering and innovative thinking this guy put into his project. Congrats.
  • @jonnybeck6723
    That sound!... 2 exhaust notes in harmony... brilliant!
  • @Marauder252
    This guy obviously has more brains than money, you have to respect a guy who does the work himself.
  • @ChuckReynolds
    this guy is such a geek about this car.. and i love it. sounds amazing.
  • @MotoMedicine904
    Man, I gotta make it a goal in life to one day walk through this garage and see all the beautiful cars up close and personal. Maybe the Navy will take me west coast one day.
  • @mgmcd1
    It sounds like 2 4-bangers racing each other in unison. Uncanny. Great episode. I love the enthusiasm.
  • @Tarex3
    the sound of both motors and superchargers when it's headed towards you was hands down the coolest sound i've ever heard.
