I think this thing gets posted about once a month. Its still impressive though.

 

That's going to require a lift-kit.

 

Still think I am going to need a bigger truck.

 

Rumor has it Quadzilla is working on a box for that baby.

 

If it was installed on an airplane sitting on a treadmill................

 

I just want to see the turbo

 

 

The airplane will still take off and fly

 

I'd like to see how they Cast the parts for it !!

 

I can't find a stock-pot to fit it!

 

Dude, that's nothing, I've got a 200,000 hp Detroit stuffed into my supertanker and it'll do 10 knots-beats the pants off of one those Wartsila jobs. Besides, that's not even a real Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C. THAT motor is made by Case, plus Ford owns Wartsila-Sulzer anyway. A while back I picked one up-the special V10 twin turbo model, but it wasn't as fast as my Detroit.
