I thought about putting this in the Gardening thread, but it just too cool of a guy toy for that;

Honda builds a 130 mph lawn mower | Fox News

0-60 in 4 seconds...yeah baby...I know what is on my Christmas list.

All sillines aside, that is fast for such a small 4w package.

'The so-called Mean Mower started out as a production Honda HF2620 Lawn Tractor before the team replaced its stock 20 hp motor with the 109 hp 1,000 cc V-twin from a Honda VTR1000 Firestorm sport bike along with its six-speed transmission and reengineered the suspension to handle a set of ATV wheels and tires.

A Scorpion exhaust system pumps up the volume to an ear-shattering 130 decibels, compared to about 106 db for a typical mower, while a Cobra racing seat was fitted to keep up with the bump in performance, now good enough to accelerate the grass assassin to 60 mph in four seconds.'
 
That's not a lawnmower. Sta-Bil still has the record...they ran 90+, and it was still a functioning lawnmower, still running the standard 2-cylinder Briggs engine!
