Here is my list of Wows:
1) 197 HP!!!!!
2) 123 ft lbs of Torque!!!!
3) Mad Max Design
4) 1679 CCs
5) YCC-I Variable Intake (like the R1/6)
6) Slipper Clutch
7) Accommodations at the Ivy Hotel in San Diego (I highly recommend it)
8) The dinner on a aircraft carrier.

Here is my list of  "What the ??":
