I know they say anything is possible with enough money but... There is no way that thing is fitting in my Z

Atleast not without small cowl or something like that

Man when I first read inline 14cylinder I was thinking WTF!?! Then I saw the bore and stroke and realized this isn't your typical diesel

You gotta admit, 108,920 HP @ 102RPM and 5,608,312 lb/ft @102 rpm's is quite enticing.

You might have to sit this back into the cabin a little bit, but imagine the power it could give your Z!

Combined with some 52" wide slicks it'd be a monster

Now there's your Lambo killer and think you could actually race airplanes like in the old commercials and probably win.

Airplanes! BAH. I'll be racing the sound barrier baby. YEAH Of course it wouldn't handle worth damn so I'd need a clear path all the way around the world and a couple of spoilers the size of FL

At that speed I think the only thing that has to worry is whatever is in your way.

I wonder what the power to weight ratio is? Sure, it's got a million HP but if it weighs 100 million Lbs...
