Awesome stuff - but there were some aero engines of similar and greater capacity, and some of them were installed in special race cars in that era, the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bangs for example.
Makes me think of this thundering behemoth: http://youtu.be/q_0xifuTqVA

Someone pass me the Travelcalm, I'm feeling car sick.
I laughed at 7.34, that was classic, especially the way he just looked at the Bronco with disdain.

So, Holden release a 577 hp sc v8 ute to end on, Ford drop the v8 ute all together and just release the 362hp i6t that they've been producing for 10 years, as a die hard ford person, i really feel ripped off by my manufacturer of choice... They really did just throw in the towel huh. Like a dog getting its *** kicked, tuck tail and run.. |

OK this isn't cars - let alone any of Henery's Finest - but it is something interesting, and a little spectacular, along the lines (intentional pun) of things that move by internal combustion engine.
Note the word "combustion"............ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a81_1419962733

Ferrari sold for 38 mil at Auction. Was estimated to sell for 70 mil! But it's history scared buyers off. Been in a massive prang (racetrack I think) and the driver died as a result of it. Was fully restored at the actual Ferrari factory. Nothing exciting in this video, though there are plenty around it.

Some friends of mine in Europe met up over New Years, and this happened:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFGppxeCGmo Hooniverse article about it here: http://hooniverse.com/2015/01/08/cet...dutch-streets/ The car: 1994 850ciA with a custom built 5.4L V12 and ehxaust. ![]() Then then fan chewed through one of the radiator hoses on the 8er and everything ground to a halt. ![]() The scenery isn't much, but that is an EPIC noise. Hopefully on the trip through Finland and Norway the scenery will match the sound.
