Nah, I think he means a 2500hp truck. Damn, that'll have a lot of torque.

Biggest readily available highway engine I know of is a Cat C16, 650 HP, 2200 lb-ft torque... pulls a 50,000 lb trailer like it's empty.... and sucks fuel like I suck down rum.

Oh, good call.

Drop the Ferrari F430 - I'd have a the Koenigsegg CCX as my exotic!

It's a tough call with the exotic/toy list... F355, 360, F430, F40, F50, XJ220, Zonda F, Koenigsegg (any model), Saleen S7 TT... oh, the list goes on and on. The CCX would probably be my 4th choice.

While I do love Ferrari, I think being one of the very few people in the country with a Koenigsegg would be awesome!

Argh, why hasn't my freaking avatar changed over yet.

That must have been a prototype engine... given the lousy mileage we got with it, not surprising. No way you could make money with it.
