The 999 had the most badass four banger ever created; 1077ci, 100hp at 700rpm, no camshaft, no oil pan, no valve cover... oil spraying everywhere, a wooden clutch to engage a 230 pound flywheel, going to a solid drive shaft, no transmission, no differential, no suspension, reaching 60mph. Its most famous driver, Barney Oldfield would race with a cigar in his mouth, claiming it would save his teeth in a crash.
