Get one of these: Should try a modern version of the ultimate design of this motor: Napier Sabre E.122, 24 cylinders, H block, 4 cam shafts, 2 cranks and 3,500 HP in a surprisingly small package.

Need a good suspension though. wt Lb / HP was less than unity. It did weigh in at over 2,500 Lbs.

It originally powered Hawker Typhoons and Tempests. WWII fighter bombers that packed a very heavy load or rockets bombs and cannon, but could still catch and destroy V1 missles

It todays world u can make a motor thats faster than that with 8 cylinders in be 1/24th the weight as far as a car would be concerned.

It's not like you want a superb handling high performing car; it would be that you want something that looks, sounds and is completely ridiculous. And I think that is pretty cool.
