No. metaphors connote equivocality between two things by likeness without the blatancy of using words like "like." "gunned the engine" is more of a figure of speech -- literally it is a verbalization of a noun to describe and action taken with an engine. But to say "the engine is a gun" is a metaphoric description of the engine.
