Dear God!


Have some boost!

Link

"The 1997 Freightliner was powered by a Detroit Diesel intercooled 16-cylinder engine with 1472 cubic inches, 4 turbos, 2 blowers, and develops approximately 4000 HP at 3,500 RPMs."

The article goes on to say that the front tires are from n f-16 and the rears are from a 747.

In case you were wondering it goes two-twenty-four!

Since senior members are always making fun of Newbies:

It was an F-15 and 737 unlike you stated.

[hr]In addition, because no truck tires are rated for speeds of over 200 mph, the truck is fitted with front tires from a F-15 jet fighter and rear tires from a Boeing 737 jet. [hr]

Hmmm...I notice the 737 wheels...but the F-15 front wheels? I don't think so..... I think the reporter mis understood. Althought the F-15 can way up to 40,000 pounds (twice as much as the truck) the wheel diameter looks too big to be that of the f-15....
<---minor nit picking...but hey...I got nothing better to do!
