Think Formula 1 pit crews are slick? Tell that to the guys who can rebuild a 7000-hp V-8 in less than 30 minutes.

Most modern engines last more than 100,000 miles before requiring a rebuild. The service life of the 7000-hp, 496-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 that powers Ron Capps's Napa Dodge Charger Funny Car is 1320 feet, or exactly 4.218 seconds on the first qualifying run for the O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Nationals. Everything from gaskets, pistons, and bearings to the cylinder heads and the clutch needs to be serviced or replaced. Oh, and Capps is running again in about two and a half hours.

Driven: 2012 Audi TT RS - Automobile Magazine
The five-cylinder freak.

Strange as Las Vegas is, it's not quite as strange as the Audi TT RS. With its hairy turbocharged five-cylinder, unglamorous VW Golf roots, and scorching performance, the TT RS has all of the right stuff to share the stage with a fire-breathing bearded lady. But damn if it doesn't entertain. While taking our first drive of the U.S.-spec TT RS in Sin City, we discovered that this compact coupe has emerged from humble origins to deliver sports car competence that we never thought was possible.
