FORD F350 SUPER DUTY PLUS!
Discussion
One of the most amazing 'cars' i saw out there was actually a truck, a Ford F350 Super Duty, the model with with twin rear wheels.
Admittedly the thing weighs around 3,000 kgs, about twice as much as a sports coupe, but it had a 12.6, yes, 12.6 litre V8 producing over 1,000 bhp without any sort of forced induction.
I never even got a cab ride, but the word 'grunt' comes to mind!
The owner was explaining that it had been built with the same precision a sports car engine would be (he also owns a tuned Ford GT with 700 bhp).
A truck with 1000 bhp and the same in lbs-ft? Bejeezus! 6mpg average.
Scarily, the owner is now looking at twin turbos to lift the power and torque to 1400 bhp/1400 lbs-ft, quite where he will find a gearbox to handle it is anyone's guess.
