Buy it, and then spend your life savings having a bunch of one-off stuff built/machined for the motor so it'll make a bunch of power. World record holding machine when your done. 750 hp and 1500+ torques you'd have. Tires is goes bald.

Hmm... Invest that 15$ in scratch tickets. You might win it big! Or you might end up with 3$. Probably zero dollars though.

Almost 60hp, but 90f/lbs of raging torque.
