This is a hot rod with a V16 Diesel that makes 875 hp at 2250 rpm
>>28886064thanks for letting me know
since OP is a fag, here's a video with clips of it actually drivinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xTryHk-d0E
>>288860642/10 not enough axles
>>28886106https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEuFUtpz_T4Here's the channel of the guy that built it.
>>28886064so is it only a hotrod if you start with a 30s car?life if you did the classic hotrod mods to an 08 challenger that wouldn’t be a hotrod, right?
>>28886135it's vibes based
>>28886135>so is it only a hotrod if you start with a 30s car?Yes. Anything else is just a cope.
>>28886064Don't like those proportions at all.Street rods should really borrow some styling cues from Legends Cars.
>>28886152Fun fact: tudors are more aerodynamic
>>28886064>875 hp at 2250 rpm2,042 lb-ft at 2,250? Woah, dude.
>>28886064Someone built a hot rod with a WW2 V12 engine from a tank or airplane, with similar power numbers and it was slow as balls. What is it about these giant engines that means they don't go as fast as the power output would suggest?
>>28886163They're heavy as fuck and can't rev for shit, all they've got is assloads of torque.
>>28886135A modified street car that can still road race is a street rod. A heavily modified street car for the sole purpose of drag racing is a hotrod. And if it's low to the ground like a low rider or stanced car it's a lead sled.>>28886152>bike engineMy man that's a glorified ATV without the all terrain capabilities.
>>28886185>My man that's a glorified ATV without the all terrain capabilities.It's fucking rad. 130hp for 1300lbs.
>>28886163Tank and most prop airplane engines have to develop their useable power at lower RPM's than car engines.In the case of aircraft engines, they are also running at or near their rated power for far longer than any car engine. Completely different applications, almost completely different engines.The only WW2 tank engine that came close to being remotely useable as a car engine was the big Ford GAA, an 18 liter all aluminum V8 with dual carbs. It only was expected to produce around 500HP @ 1050LbFt torque.
>>28886135It's not a hot rod, at all. It isn't built for performance. It's a custom, or a cruiser and there's a couple of'em floating around, all based on the "Tank Car" that Jay Leno bought and rebuilt into something functional. It's still a hell of a piece of work and nicely done.
>>28886243At least Leno's tank car looked okay. OP's has a trailer park vibe to it. Here's another similar car also by Randy Grub. It runs a fire engine motor.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT8ZjxlWRXU
>>28886261OPs pic doesn't really do it justice, it's pretty wild looking in motion with people around.
>>28886064>v16 diesel in a carand of course it's a Detroit two stroke.
>>28886106The annoying thing about Detroit two strokes is that they all sound the same above 4 cylinders
>>28886272I dunno, it has a bit of different character to my ear, a little smoother maybe? You're right though, it definitely still just sounds like a truck motor. I do like the way it rumbles around at idle though.
>>28886277checkedIt may be in person. Must just be the audio in most videos can't capture the nuance of the sound of anything above a 6-53.
>>28886064Gay showpiece that doesn't do anything. This red truck has a V24 Detroit Diesel and actually works.
>>28886163The rotating assemblies are insanely heavy, they're not designed for acceleration, but for constant power.
>>28886369>Gay showpiece that doesn't do anything.It does something those trucks don't which is look cool driving down the road.
>>28886369Wow is that the I Want Cancer meetup?
>>28886754Amerimutts don't believe in pollution, cancer comes from god
>>28886754The cancer comes from every post you make.
>>28886261Tank Car was built by an artist, with an eye for detail and minimal mechanical skills. That's why it looks spectacular and why Leno's shop crew had to completely redesign/rebuild the mechanicals.
>>28886770POST POST POST GET CANCER
>>28886185Retard>>28886202They are fun as fuck to throw around. My buddy has one with a hopped up GSXR engine in it that we rip around his neighborhood a couple times a year.
