I am a member of several FB groups. One of the inline related car groups posted a link of a video showing what looked like two Buick straight eights nose to tail at idle: StreamlinerC16-vid
I did some legwork and found the FB user "Streamliner C16": Turns out he's got a webpage too: StreamlinerC16homepage
He's based in Sweden and has recreated the Mercedes land speed racer from the 30's. Talk about an ambitious project.
What an undertaking! I'd like to hear it at speed. I've seen double sixes and a double four but this is loooong!
His homepage includes a video of a pass during a 'Historics' meet. I don't think he's trying to set any records. With a 2.73 rear-end he doesn't need to wind it up much to go 120. With a 32" tire he would be pushing 5700+ rpm to go 200 - but I don't think his twin 248s have the horsepower to do that.

I don't think I have ever been in a car that had such a pronounced "on cam" feel.
