And now for something different

All the political talk makes me unhappy, so here's some nifty videos of cars and the like.

A rotary engine putting out 1664 HP. (This is unnatural. Turn down your volume a hair unless you want to blow your ear out.)


Sticking with rotary engines, here's a second generation Mazda RX-7 holding a burnout for 3 minutes before blowing his engine clean up. (Not as in explosion, as in he's gonna need a new engine.) Fun tip, watch the front of the hood. Those hoods were hinged in the front!



Here's an R33 Nissan Skyline (I think I drooled on my keyboard...) getting whipped by the million dollar McLaren F1.



Here's a well executed nitrous oxide purge on a Cobra.
