Holy crap that's awesome. I knew those V-twins made some big torque for the size but to move a car is pretty cool. I imagine it might have had some decent acceleration at highway speeds too. I have an SV659 motorbike and that little engine is seriously torquey.
I'd love to be the one to put a measly 4 cylinder in a Vette and of course the end result is it be very, very economical without looking like some kind of oddball science experiment. Maybe it'll happen one day.
