Yea thats pretty nice...wish i had that kind of money....1500 hrs spent designing that must have cost a fortune.
It would be fun to ride up on some mini's tailgate in that thing

I'm just disappointed with a turbocharged 30l they could only muster 1200hp. 40hp/l 
Guess it's still killer for an engine design that old with just a couple improvements. I'd love to take that somewhere for an oil change.

It was designed for a tank. That means it has high efficiency at low rpms and a torque curve that is predictable.

there is only 2 or so that have been made (or so I hear) and the other guy lives 20 mins away from me. Last 4th of july parade I got to see it in person. The thing is a ------- beast.
