Ok, I finished the design. How long before we can put it on the track?

The picture name: 40000_hp_all_aloy_400cid5_92C857FB-5056-8D7B-05F9A232F0F5E960.jpg

40,000 HP? From a 400cid engine? I think not. Somebody was smoking the good stuff when they came up with those figures. I don't care if you hooked the fuel line up to the Exon Valdez, and the air breather up to a LOX plant!

We have examined the photograph, and high lighted recognisable features, it is our opinion that the photograph is that of a car engine.

This is just the initial design,

The final involves a flux capacitor and an alternator that can generate 1.21 gigawatts. this will produce 100k for sure, no problem, I mean right? it looks good on paper. I'll submit it to design.

Looking at that, I don't know how you can't double the horsepower!

It's so brilliant - it's simple!

NOTICE TO ALL -

Let this image serve as a caution.

This is the kind of damage that is done when a perfectly capable gearhead innocently discovers paint and google for the first time.

Someone needs to be there for them.

If you notice a mechanic attempting to turn on or use a computer for the first time. Please take appropriate measures to ensure everyone's safety.

-Please keep laptops and other peripherals password protected!

When we asked you to post a picture on CR4 explaining your previously posted question this is not what we had in mind.
