Ah, Jim Inhofe... just so y'all know, I didn't vote for him.

Race car is the reason to even more absurd things. Back when the Turbos first entered the F1, BMW designed an engine that broke their test bench. It was built to stand 1250bhp.
Then there's Nobuhiro Tajima's twin-engined Suzuki Escudo to climb the Pikes Peak. You read that right. He put two 911 engines on a tubular frame with a fiberglass body that slightly resembled a Suzuki Escudo and called it a climb. He's done that to other suzukis, ofc.
Then there's Loeb's 885bhp "Peugeot 208", also for the peak. And some dude raced a 1000+bhp Tacoma some 20 years ago.
And of course, the legend itself. The MG Metro 8r4 rallycross. Someone was crazy enough to put a 4l V8 into a vehicle the size of a Mini. The old one.
Because Race Car.

Going and watching the hill cimb in person is always fun

I'd actually like to participate, but I'm pretty sure it'd take a crapton of money.
Also, I don't think I'd be able to fit an engine big enough on my 1.2l Chevrolet Aveo.
