The Stinger 609
Naturally aspirated it makes 5.5hp, with the optional blower, it makes 9.5hp!
The damn thing even has a starter...a real starter....
And listen to it! It even SOUNDS like a real V8...that is absolutely amazing. I figured some of my fellow Imgurians would like something like this; an incredible intersection of technology, engineering, and utter uselessness. Gotta hear it - link below:

Well, the 15 HP Briggs and Stratton on my go-cart cost way less and still sounded cool...

I'm embarrassed that I loaded the gif so I could hear how it sounds before I realized my mistake.

Ultimate power/weight ratio car ever?
esgedi
Doubt it. Koenigsegg is 2.2lbs/1hp. No way this thing isn't at least 40lbs.
FoxySpirit
11.25lbs. So yes way ;-)

Can someone post purchase and YouTube test sauce so we don't have to deal with that wierd ass site?
ShreddedBeef
Here you go. Volume warning tho, so power your audio a bit. https://youtu.be/t-XHWbxBMMU
MisterTrashPanda
Granted the site is weird...but that happens when you're looking for engine model kits bc you have an infant & can't play outside anymore.
thatfbtho
I genuinely dont understand people who don't think things like this are RAD.
mariomario42
That's pretty nice with the starter included
jedreeves
Yeah my ride might be a little small, but it's all engine.
TemporaryUzername
The starter is about the least impressive thing about it. It has a dry sump oiling system, alternator, and carburetor.

Givernment mandated smog checks coming for micro engines, you will need a bigger tailpipe buddy, state regulations!

10/10 would build a few dozen model cars and host a mini Monster Jam

That’s even louder than I would have imagined. Holy shit. Good thing they live on a farm lol.

Yes! Grave Digger is my favorite!

It’s cool and all but that mini gas v8 doesn’t have anything on the electric motors

The thing sounds wicked as fuk to be honest.

Top banana! That's a real skill my man

If you want your wife to charm you're trouser python you might wanna try giving her kitty a tongue bath. Works well for me.

It's useless until Stuart Little needs a monster truck.
JMaxGarage
Wow. They finally did it! Put a micro engine on an RC! That’s so cool
justlivinthedream
Very cool, but for nearly $11,000 I could buy 911 Carrera 997 engine to tinker with in my garage.

How about a riding mower?
ElbowDeepInMythicalCreatures
Hm
smarthedragon
for 11,000 you could build a 489 and get 600 to 700 hp.....
freezingpilot
http://www.moparproshop.com/small_block_magnum_crate_engines You could get some Mopar small blocks for less as well.
ZachPutland
You could get a 2JZ or RB26 for a lot less than that
esgedi
i'm honestly fascinated by people's obsession with the 2JZ and RB series. Why?
MOMOnica97
Power. Its easy to double the power of those engines while maintaining most of the reliability. Of course, that changes when you hit 1000 hp
AmatureSpaceCowboy
Yeah but then all your buddies make fun of you for having a Porsche..
whatseventhepointt
Not if you turn that Porsche into a kickass dune buggy.
kevip1
Or you can build a turbo lsx for half the price and kill yourself twice as quickly!
MisterTrashPanda
I mean, yeah, but try holding it in your hands. So there.
CraftedLine
Is it really that fast? For that price you could get lighter parts w/a 3.3.
NuggetNinja
I, too, love burning my skin off.
cowpiefatty
Maybe he is absurdly strong you don't know his life.
whatseventhepointt
I could definitely hold my 1.6l dune buggy engine in my hands.
