Do our tanks and LAVs have a key ignition? funny question

Thanks, it's a 060 over 454 (481/7.8l) I built a few years ago in the garage to replace the small block in the Impala.

There is no doubt that the new powerplants (V6's and V8's both) are not slouches in the hp dept. I'd love to swap out the BBC and do a LS7 or something.

Boys and their toys.... come give me a call once you get into the heavy equipment side of things. =D

I'll stick to a car that has more torque and hp than a Kenworth, thanks!

Much less carnage that way...

;D

Nothing like the sound of 20 kg/sec of air being sucked in, winding the gas generator up to 8500 rpm - you can't help but hear it all over the ship...or within a couple kilometers on the open sea!

It's also pretty dandy that you can slap her into reverse while at full speed and not leave a trail of gearbox parts behind.  ;D
 
Just don't let the guys in Redmond WA get a hold of it.

How the Mustang would look if Microsoft ran Detroit

The software giant, working with West Coast Customs, loads a Ford Mustang with its consumer technology as a showcase for what developers can do with on its platform.

Even my NEW DODGE CHALLENGER has all the a/m stuff, incl GPS Nav, AM/FM/Sat radio, heated seats.....but I have not mounted any weapons through the sun roof.  >:D

Yet.
 
Remember, a trailer hitch can be used for towed artillery too...

I have an acquaintance who's about 3/4 done rebuilding his C1 105mm Howitzer....

Yes the rule is the guy with the HEMI wins!! LOL  ;D

Mind you 1600 hp is nothing to sneeze at, is it?

Don't want to end up like Jeremy Clarkson when he tried to beat the Challenger 2 in a Range Rover?

Nothing like a fin dart up the tailpipe to quiet that hemi down pretty quick.

My Big Red Truck has TWO hitches - front and rear - my HEMI can push or pull in either direction.  Flexibility is the key to sea HEMI power!

As an aside, CinC Home Fleet gets upset that my iPhone wall paper is my Big Red Truck, vice children...
