Default V-8 QUAD

ok, well, I had this crazy idea of building a V-8 atv, after looking closely at a freind's Boss Hoss. Its definatly feasable. Build a frame around a motor, and either do some major fiber glass work to make it look decent, or try to fit it all in a streched out yamaha or honda frame. Granted, it would only be good for STOMPING EVERYONES SKULLS AT OLDS, but it would be cool, right? Anyone ever see one made before? what are your thoughts?

I just returned from St. anthony dunes and at a rest area on the way back a Boss Hoss dealer was returning from the factory with 4 bikes. I showed some interest and he opened up his trailer and and actually fired up one of the bikes. Believe it or not it had a GM performance 502 big block in it! It was the most awesome sounding bike I have ever heard. Kinda pointless but the cool factor was definetly off the scale.

no, i'm talking about 350hp in a quad, that would just go. I mean, this thing would haul, you would have to get the biggest baddest paddle tires, and tape your arms together at the joints so they don't tare apart. Granted, it would be heavy, and it would need all sorts of specialty parts, run around $25,000, and would have to come to my house to buy it(because i'm awesome like that, and I would be the one building them), They would be the most exciting atv's ever. More than alba's rocket raptor. And plus, the motor has more upgradeable parts than the banshee and 250r all together!
