I don't suppose 1000cc of over 300hp of supercharged insanity would cut it? I mean it spews fire for godsakes!

"Please remember "For every 15 hours of running over 8,000rpm, the engine needs to be inspected. For every 30 hours, an engine bottom-end overhaul is needed." That is $3k+ worth of maintenance every 30 hours" .

You would need very deep pockets! but looking at that exhaust it's almost worth it.
