Many of you may be familiar with the Rolls Royce designed Merlin engine. It powered my favorite airplane, the P-51. The P-51 is capable of over 400 mph and burns 60 gallons pf gas an hour if you are thinking of one for your commute.
This, I found, interesting about tolerances for manufacturing. Nice warranty also.

Stunt pilot Vlado Lenoch and Atchison (KS) airport manager Bethany Root died in crash of Lenoch's P-51D outside Acthison last week. Taking her on a joyride and something bad happened.
I don't know how many there are left but they were indeed one impressive bird for the day and are just good for the eyes.
