Only difference is that this one has a 21ft. wheelbase and a 1800 cubic inch Allison engine out of an M47 tank that puts out 1200hp and 1500lbs. ft. of torque through an Allison tranny. :D

I'm jus' sayin' this would blow away the Honda F1 car on the salt... :gomer:

It will be fun to watch what is said at gomerville if any of their lurkers swipes the link.

Let the circle jerk begin!

That thing was in Car and Driver a few months back. They said it was the loudest car in the history of ever.

They said it was the loudest car in the history of ever. Anyone that ever saw the Gold Cup hydroplanes back when the ran reciprocating engines will remember how loud an unmuffled Allison or Rolls is.

Here's another one of their cars that's built on an old Seagraves fire truck platform with a 980 cubic inch V12. Not exactly built for fuel economy
