I love this kind of stuff, look at the boots they are wearing. Notice the covers on the journals in the background.

I remember reading about that engine. 1,000,000 horsepower at 102 RPM (which was actually 2 RPM over redline). Just think, it'd take 1000 Bugatti quad-turbo 16-cylinder engines to match it :hick:
