That is really cool, I love it. And how it sounds.... I showed this link to a lot of my friends.
I like to see it next to an engine a guy here in Churriana near Malaga has in his car. Its a V12 with (mind you) 27litres of swpt volume, a Rolss Royce Merlin (and that in a car)
These two engines next to each other really should make a nice contrast.

It looks much like the old Connoly 1/4 scale V8.

they did the same sorta thing a few years ago, but their factory burned down and they lost all their dies.

Such a shame...

I have now decided that it is time to build my son his own mini C4. That thing sounds like it would KILL some gocart tires. AWSOME.

I've seen that before but it is too cool. It took a master craftsman to build that.

they only put out a couple of hp... I think the connolly was good for like 2.2 or something like that. They are not as powerful as they sound.
