Mustang w/ Tank Engine
 

Must be seen to be believed.

They'd have to put an elephant in the back to even out the weight distribution on that thing, but it'd still have enough torque to go fast.

I just had an idea for the next Pixar movie. Elephant racers. BRB, scripting.

doesn't look as absurd as I thought it might, just sort of funnycar-ish. with that torque, it probably doesn't actually go anywhere, just sits and roasts the tires...

In case you want one, apparently they can be had:

"...What are you looking for complete engines, cores, running engines, parts? I have several of these engines, and know where some parts are. These engines are pretty impressive, especially when you consider they were designed in the early 40's. Aluminum block, heads, oil pan, valve covers, 180 degree billet crankshafts, DOHC shaft driven, 4 valves per cylinder, 2.100 intake valves, 1.900 exhausts, pent roof style combustion chambers, bucket style cam followers like modern high tech engines. They weigh about 1500 lbs. in stock form, but can be brought down to around 900 lbs. ready to run without too much trouble. They are capable of making tremendous amounts of power, and really love turbocharging. Two turbos, 34 pounds of boost + alcohol = 3800 HP at 5200 rpm..."

make a great stump puller

How's that car going to transfer all that power and torque on to the ground?

One broken axle and two broken CV joints. :thumbsup:

It won't have to move at all. The wheels will just rotate the Earth under them.

well I see alcohol funny cars transfer that kind of power to the ground, why not this car? If you notice, this is not a "street Mustang" it has full cage, tube chassis, tubed out rear with huge slicks ...suitable for putting a few thousand horsepower to the ground.

Thats crazy. I would love to see a video of it in action

Hey...I didn't say you could use pics of my car! :P

That thing is sweet, though. Love it.
