I saw the POTD and was very intrigued by the car so i did a little Google searching about it and aside from the Wikipedia article on it, i found this pretty cool link with a video.

Definitely a cool car. I've always loved the guys who take a classic car and put some outrageous engine in it. And this one probably takes the cake with over 1000 hp. Are the flames an after affect of the engine or are they just for show?
It sounded like he said "600 over a Bugatti Veyron", so mabey like 1600hp or so. Im guessing it weighs somewhere in the upper 2 tons. Brakes origional, steering origional I cant even imagine the work it would need to drive. Gas milage must be in the gallons per minute range. This excersize is hilarious in the way of practicality. Vehicles like this are purely for fun and the "lets see if we can do it" way is simply fantastic.

Do they even use spark plugs in the traditional sense?
