It might be worth dying a horrible, flying, flaming death, just to get aboard this beauty.
The Tomahawk is likely to see the light of day, according to #2 exec Wolfgang Bernhard, who said we’d know by summer 2003. It’s a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine sitting out in the elements with some wheels beneath it. The price would be at least $250,000, and there would be only a few hundred made. Frankly, we suspect the Tomahawk will be built, due to a huge amount of public interest.
The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.
Somebody spent a lot of time watching Tron when they were a kid.

You are such a… a… a.. GUY! 😉
I’ll take that as … er, a complement. 🙂
Only question is: with or without helmet? It seems that’s how quite a few men, and a growing number of women, prove their machismo on Colorado roads.
As Roger Rabbit said, “I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid!”
Though given the inevitability of my crashing through a guard rail and into a ravine on that beast, I might as well be helmetless and save on medical expenses.
The crashing through the guard rail made me think: what feats of stupidity could Evil Kanevil have accomplished on this rig?
My brother told me that the life expectancy of a first-time motorcycle buyer who gets a Ninja or something similar is 6 months.
With this baby your LE is maybe 6 minutes. 6 hours for a professional.
