Here is a site I came across and wanted to share with the tilted motor folks......1/4 scale V8 engines. One with overhead cams, another with a mini blower, and one hell of a price tag!! All in all very cool, from reading the stats I assumed more HP(1/4 scale 1/4 the horsepower?). The first link has a video with it running, it sounds I think really cool just like the big one , but smaller.
Now I think they use these in 1/4 scale remote control cars which is shown on the second site

Well check it out let me know what you think!!!

Did you see the Viper engine on the second link? The guy wants $250K for it!!! I don't think so. Also, he wants $14K for a model with the engine and everything. Some people have too much money.

Yes I did see the viper motor to.... hmmm the only molds lost in fire. I guess that can be a little expensive to remake.....

and when you already have the real viper with a real viper engine... you probably will want a little toy to put on your mahogany desk.
