Neat set up but I dunno if Id want everyone to know who I was until the engine was a little more main stream. Prolly some oil companies/car manufacturers that would make sure you ended up in the same location as Jimmy Hoffa.

What happened with this Jimmy Hoffa fella..

Man, did you guys watch the animation? It's pretty wicked..

If this makes it into cars in the future, theres not gonna be anything to do mod wise except for turbocharging it, which it seems would lead to unstreetable amounts of power hahaha...

I don't know about the heat issue.. I'm sure the guy is confident and had considered this before making it this far hehe..
