    28.5 liters, equivalent to approximately 1,730 cubic inches displacement. One cylinder displacement (~ 430 cubic inches) is more than a 427 cubic inch Chevrolet big block V-8! Astonishing.

    This is what cars are for. Cars in museums are dying. I went back to a car museum I went to as a child (50 or 60 years later) and all the exhibits were dead and covered in dust. So disappointing. Thank you for bringing the beast back to life.

    This is an incredible machine. I have seen it up close, in action and it is even more impressive than you think it is going to be. But despite this the most amazing and brilliant thing about the Beast of Turin is Duncan. The man has so much passion and enthusiasm even a quick 30 second chat with him can lift your spirits for the rest of the day.

    JT F-1 cars are too complex and only the realm of billionaires. The modern developments in safety and driver protection are most welcome but the idea that just one engine costs over a million dollars is kind of amazing. It seems like motor sports have all got the potential to be taken to extremes. Take Top Fuel or Funny Car drag racing. The engines only last one run or less. If you watch a full set of eliminations you might see maybe half or less of the races as real races as opposed to blown engines, etc. Indy Car and NASCAR have pretty even cars, not sure that works out well either. I would not for a second have an idea what would improve the present situation but I think reduced costs and simplicity would be my ideas.

I have a modern Fiat and I think that if that car every pulled up next to my car and blew flames out of the exhaust ports, my car would probably let out a scream and climb a tree and hide. I think that Fiat is a good car still but it is amazing to me to watch a 100 plus year old car still being driven. A car built in a time when you lived by the seat of your pants and your ingenuity.
