Imagine having a car that pulls a very respectful 0-60 time of four seconds flat. You might be the talk of your town. Cynics might even say that you need to put a governor on your engine or else you might just mow people down.

The "Mean Mower," as it's affectionately called, sears down the block at up to 116.57 miles per hour. Digital Trends noted that the previous land speed record for a lawn mower was 87.83 mph in comparison. That's paltry if you ask me. Just in case you're a bit leery on the whole 100+ mph lawn mower concept get this: the whole thing was seen and verified by an official Guinness World Records official.

Unbelievably, the Mean Mower's top speed wasn't even reached. According to Guinness, "the result of this remarkable feat of engineering is a lawn mower set-up and geared to achieve a top speed in excess of 130mph, weighing just 140kgm, producing 96Nm of torque, an incredible PTW ratio of 532bhp/tonne; and an estimated 0-60 of just four seconds."

That's a lot of technological mumbo-jumbo, but did you catch the part where Guinness said that the mower can top 130 mph. Say it with me: Woah! Neo would be proud.

So who's behind this dastardly creation, and just why in the world would you race lawnmowers? None other than U.K.-based Team Dynamics is behind the gas-guzzling big red beast. Team Dynamics has extensive experience tuning and building fast Honda vehicles for the British Touring Car Championship.

However, not everyone is impressed with Team Dynamics' handiwork. The man, yes that's right, man, behind the 87mph mower had this to say to Fox News.com:

"If I wanted to, I could put a motorcycle engine in my mower," remarked Bobby Cleveland. "But I feel really good about what I did."

Cleveland only used genuine motorcycle parts and took his fast mower to the world famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Northwestern Utah. The "low traction" terrain and high altitude at Bonneville help to reduce a vehicles power.
