I can only imagine the impression it makes on that carpet, with all that weight underneath.

i wonder how many oil/dirt stains his "table" has made. lol
I am guessing the engine weighs around 400lbs.. so a lot less than the mark left by the in-laws sitting on the couch...

A Viper engine would be cool also.
With this kind of answer, I want to make a quick survey.
I will like to know which (American motors) would you like to put in your living room?
For me, I will like a 428 Cobra Jet or the 440 Hemi .
