what the fuck?

One of the observations i've made while sitting at my local train station at 5:30am is that some people rev their engines before they turn it off. Ok I've only seen two do it but I still think its weird. The first car as a shitheap mk1 Punto, and the other was a 3.2 Audi TT.

What am I missing here?

so reving the engine and instantly turning it off achieves what exactly?

that may be true of the fueling, but will wreck your turbo injection or not

Doesn't do much on modern stuff. Used to be a way of emptying the carb so you didn't flood the car next time you started. Can't see a Punto flooding somehow.

You do it on aircraft engines, you never let the engine idle or the plugs foul so you always set the throttle to about 1200rpm. I doubt there are any road cars where you actually have to do similar, it would be a very very very poor design if you did in my opinion.
