I watched that about 5 times. That is freakin' cool. I love the low RPM "idle" sound - sounds like a top fuel engine

Of course if I built it I'd have to find out what the redline is... the hard way... :D

I found a whole forum once dedicated to building real engines out of legos...they had some awesome shiznit, including full bodied cars that were propelled by those engines.

I got like most of the ford powered and Muscle cars and Random supercars hot wheels in the last 4 years or so but i forgot all about how cool Legos can be if you got the time to build stuff out of them.

That is awesome! Legos have seemed to go by the wayside in the past years. I remember about 10-15 years ago, store aisles were packed with different Lego sets.
