I really don't understand the purpose behind that....other than demonstrating to the world you have way too much cash and time on your hands. Ah, call me way literal then?!?

The answer is no, it doesn't work. it took exactly 3.6 seconds from the time he actually put his foot on the gas to the time the engine block went blood red. that is such an insanely short amount of time that you could never enjoy it.

Plus the seals and head gaskets cant be worth anything after heating and expanding and contracting just a couple times.

No, it doesn't work.

still PHAT, just useless.
