The Propeller is a hotrod processor. And for motorheads, here's an interesting look at NHRA top fuel dragsters.
8000 HP supercharged Hemi V8s in a 2000 lb vehicle. Just driving the supercharger takes 900 HP. Wow.

    I liked it in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when Jones and the Russian were fighting and set the rocket sled off and took an unwanted ride.

    Impress you? Impossible. My ultimate dream is simply to experience my Corvair's neck-snapping 140 HP again before I die!

    Never say never. Your flame-throwing bicycle is forever etched into my imagination. (Betcha can't ride it a couple hours after having some of my black bean chili.)
