    Car and Driver managed to "fry" eggs/bacon on the door sills/exhaust vent on the Dodge Viper SRT-10.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Maybe you can manage to get the interior of the car to catch fire if you leave the doors open?

    Actualy some rounds of the world chapionship were cancelled that year, including the Montecarlo and the Swedish. Hence Portugal was the first rally of the year. And Alpine won the title in '73.

    Last year, on vacation in Italy my dad and I fried an egg on the bonnet of his C5. Because it is black and there were tropical temperatures by day (35+ degrees) you can imagine it got really hot.

    In a joking mood we bought some eggs, a piece of aluminium foil(to not damage the paint) and a spatula. It took a while, but it actually worked !! Great laugh to do.

    How it tasted ? Like a fried egg

    And in my Suzuki i actually did some cooking too. A mate and I parked it the sunshine in Belgium for a day and then got back in for the drive back. I felt like a boiling lobster then, driving in a car with 50+ (out of scale) inside temperatures in the very hot sunshine !!

    The 1998-2001 nissan patrol engine pumps out enough heat to cook, fry, bake, grill, or even heat your house in the winter or whatever the hell you want. Try standing next to it for 5 seconds on a summer day and you'll know what im talkin about.

    And that goes for both the 4500 and the 4800 VTC engine as well.

    I can imagine people melting their nylon pants if they came too close to a Viper.

    Our Tiger R6 kitcar does a really good job as well After two minutes on 300 revs, the exhaust is allready red-hot glowing ! Sometimes the flames from the air intake (!!) can be hot too

    I imagine anything you grille would be pretty easy. Flat things the easiest as temperature distribution through the food would be pretty uneven.

    Second, boiling should be super easy too, as the idea is to get uniform heat distribution through the object through the use of boiling water circulating the heat. That would be idea for this sort of purpose.
