Bottom End

What Revs to 19,000 in a Parking Lot?

Answer: The BMW Sauber F1 car. 

BMW's Nick Heidfeld recently demonstrated his spectacular driving skill to a crowded parking lot at the company's Munich plant in a show of support for employees, only a minor mishap made for some extra fun. BMW's F1 engine is 2.4L pneumatic four-valve engine capable of revving to 19,000 rpm. At full song it'll split eardrums.
