internal friction isn't what stops your car from rolling down the hill when you park it... COMPRESSION IS. Take out your plugs and try it. It'll roll.

Couple more advantages I didnt' see mentioned yet...

- Light weight... great for drag racing, go karts, airplanes, track cars
- Cheap cost... under $2000 for a rebuilt one

Are you saying we can remove the plugs off a piston engine, and it'll roll down the hill all the time?
