There is something wrong when a truck accelerates up a hill pulling two trailers. But I think I like it. Any guesses as to how much torque they are putting out?

My grandfather owned a trucking company for years. For about 3 years he tried to get into semi dragging and tractor pulling. I tell you what, those engines are POWERFUL. I can remember seeing one of those trucks twist the drive shaft into a nice little nasty knot.

Imagine a riced out Civic trying to do a fly-by against one of these.

It would never work!

Just thought I'd bump this thread, I was inspired by the talk of the Duramax Camaro

Muscle Master · 02-01-2009, 02:11 AM

... Goddamn

Currently the Duramax and the Bluetec is the best diesels in the world

my buddy had a WRX with a decent amount of money put in to it. He went to a nascar event and afterward on the highway he saw one of the racer's semi's hauling the trailer with the car in it. He pulled up beside it and the driver smiled and then pulled him. he said that there was no way that it was a normal semi, and he heard what he thought must have been a turbo the size of a 5 gallon jug. I kid you not he was so pissed about being left by a semi on the highway he traded his WRX in for a Silverado the next week.
