'SmarTruck II' The New Army Truck

http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/01/07/arm...eut/index.html<br><br><br>DETROIT, Michigan (Reuters) -- It looks like a contraption that should be entered in a monster truck rally -- menacing black with reinforced silver bumpers, big tires and floodlights mounted on top of the cab.<br><br><br>It may be a Chevy, but I'd sure like to have it as a toy!<br><br>Rich

Re:'SmarTruck II' The New Army Truck

Your right Luke, I did not read it close enough. <br><br>Here is a small section:<br><br>
Built on the modified platform of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with a 350 horsepower, V-8 engine, the watchword of the SmarTruckII is flexibility.
<br><br>I just skimmed the article. I did not catch the horsepower, and assumed it was Cu. In.<br><br>Thanks Luke.<br>Rich

I saw it on CNN.....it's much too pretty to be in a firefight, although that roof mounted missle defense system would be great in rush hour. Just another waste of money.
