i was hoping in the video the guy was going to get on it and smoke the

shooting out the exhaust, was hoping for long sustained flames though.
what did someone say, he probably woulda flipped the car over if he
got
on it (gyro forces).



I also wanted to see some tires being smoked. I did notice a bit of body
rock when he
gave it a bit of extra throttle.

I don't normally watch vids but I had to see how it ended.

No fan on the front of the engine like a radial in a helicopter. No
cooling. Engine will fry in a short time. Just a show thing, I guess.
