Anyone heard of Z Cars Ltd? (Hayabusa supercar)

I recently ran across the website for Z Cars Ltd., a UK tuning company. Apparently, they convert Ultimas and Elises to bike engined vehicles. Has anyone heard of these guys or seen any reviews? A Hayabusa powered car would probably be quite the track monster.

Z cars first came to the publics attention when it gained substantial press coverage for developing a four wheel drive twin superbike engined Tiger Z100WR.

This unique Lotus seven inspired replica is capable of reaching 60 mph from rest in just 2.8 seconds,and immediately set a new world record in the process. But the company has been around for many years,initially gaining an impressive reputation within the grass track racing world where M.D. Chris Allanson, won the 1993 National Championships in his own bike powered car.

More recently,the company has concentrated on its production car packages,first with the classic Mini,then the MC Smart and now with the Lotus Elise. But these fully developed conversions tell only half the story
Because Z cars is also able to tackle almost any one off commission. Most exciting of these has been the recent completion of a unique Ultima sports mid engined super car.

This low volume high quality component car usually features a mid mounted Chevrolet V8 engine,but the Z cars conversion now means two turbocharged Suzuki Hyabusa engines each developing 500 bhp are used and running a unique four wheel drive system for ultimate traction and control. Awesome
