Cool fact alot of you might not know about the tumbler is that the engine powering this beast is a small block chevy...

Technical specifications
  • Length: 15 feet (4.57 m)
  • Width: 9 feet 4 inches (2.84 m)
  • Weight: 2.5 short tons (2.3 t)
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.
  • Engine: 5.7 liter GM V8 engine capable of 500 horsepower (370 kW).
  • Fuel: The "jet engine" on the back of the car was fed by propane tanks.
  • Tires: 4 Interco "Super Swamper TSL" tires standing 44 inches (1,100 mm) tall 18.5 inches (470 mm) wide in the rear, and two 94.0/15.0-15 Hoosier Checkerboard dirt tires on the front.
I heard they did have a ridable version, not sure if the one they're showing off here is it or not. But if I remember right, they said the huge tires on the bike made it a pain to ride.
