If Satan drove a car...

Not much of a motor head here so here's hoping I'm using the right terms.

Were the valve springs and rockers exposed on this engine by design? Is there's a benefit to them not being covered?

That thing is a monster! I wonder what it gets for it's MPG..

[u/chadilac454]

Controlled explosions when that thing started! I would have most likely shit myself.

Car would be more badass if it had something more substantial than frisbees for wheels

The Brutus!! 0.18 mpg! German sense of humor, best thing ever.

The Brutus is awesome, but I much prefer his nemesis, who was parked outside work a while back.

Change up the transmission in that thing to compensate for the torque and it would be a freaking monster.
