My grand pa has a aging banner that is probably 30 feet wide by 10 feet high in his shop, that has a F1? tunnel hull with one of those Race V-8's on the back. To say it's the most bad *** looking engine is an understatement. It would be awesome if someone made a v-8 2 stroke again that sounded nasty like the old ones.
