Years ago when I was working on the radio, a buddy of mine from a Classic Rock station invited me to come to one of their events.  At the local roundy-round track (Tri City, near Saginaw, MI), they took a couple of "rice burners" for what they billed as "The Burning Of The Rice."  They had a Honda Accord & a Toyota of some sort...drained the coolant & oil from them and drove them until they stopped. 

It took nearly 15 minutes before they crapped out!

It reminds me of the synthetic oil TV commercial a few years ago where they drained the oil out of a Viper and ran a lap around the track and then extolled the virtues of their fantastic oil.

It's still not as funny as that Civic they poured water into after they drained the oil.  I think they were able to do donuts on it for a good 14min or so before it finally died--including a couple hydro-lock events!

Video of a Crown Vic on the RRE dyno with oil and coolant both drained. It ran for 7 and a half minutes under load. Ford FTW! I wonder if that was Dino oil or synthetic.
