and it really isn't that fast....the power to weight ratio for the engine alone is 2tons to 1hp.....SLOW

it would run about a 99.89 sec quarter mile....hehehehe

The old mine sweeping ships in WWII were powered by a giant Packard disel (no I'm not kidding) They would roll out the main bearings by putting a guy in the oil pan and sliding him under the engine.

The screws to drive the propopeller were so big and expensive the navy had to rent them
