Wow this guy is living the dream, I went over and watched the corresponding video but the part "Harrah's other vehicles include a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II coupe with a Merlin 1,100-hp V12 from a Spitfire that flew in the Battle of Britain" just blows my mind.

Driving a beautiful classic car with a historical engine like that and having the respect he has is amazing.

I missed the parenthesis part. Still doesn't excuse the ricerness of the project.

Also, 3,000hp? No dyno graph, no care. :)
