For those who, like me, don't know much about drag racing speeds... 10.125 seconds is faster than a bugatti veyron runs the 1/4 mile. It'll do it in 10.2 seconds.

Behold power to weight ratio. How much does that tiny thing weigh anyway? I assume the engine weighs almost as much as the body.

@CrudeDude True it only makes 360 hp, but radial engines are known more for their enormous torque. All that torque in a little car like that.......this car and radial engines go hard. ^_^

360 Horsepower? YAAaawwwwnnnn

The R/T @3.36 has more HP than that radial..........fact.

@vonmugel good point, then again  with close to triple the displacement the merlin made almost 3000hp

@gumby1008 It uses a seventy year old russian airplane engine. Be impressed!
