    THAT is one of the funniest videos I have seen for awhile that was great lol reminds me of the dudesons.......... I love how they try and free it up "I hope it's not broken"

    environmental friendly haha yeah it does make you wonder about F1 engines though....

    YES That's it! Yeah they got a good start, i'd watch for sure. It's like Jackass meets Topgear

    The British accent is just better, ha I wish I had one. Americans could pull something like that off but still...ha

    Honda f1 dyno test of some recent vintage. Sounds like a sewing machine.

    Renault F1, which they do show going up to 18k. Those headers are a nice shade of red.

    I wonder if the 2012 1.6l turbo motors (to save money and get more manufacturers interested in building an engine) will be buzzed as high as 18k?

    why stop at 18k with the new motors? They should goto 36k, its just better.
