Twin-turbo truck tears up drag strip

This is a video of a heavily modified truck packing an even more heavily modified twin-turbo Chevrolet big block engine, gunning down a drag strip in a wall of speed.

Because sometimes, subtlety needs to be folded up neatly... and then smashed repeatedly over the head with a large hammer.

This FrankenTruck was put together by a father and son team, with a monster 580 cubic inch Chevy engine at the back with a pair of 76mm turbos strapped to its vast banks.

It's so bloody big, the whole thing has had to be fitted in the middle, though it's no real detriment to its fastness; though some may take concern with the aero and so forth, this twin-turbo truck still manages a quarter mile run in a smidge over ten seconds.

Whether you think it should have done it quicker or not, that's still plenty fast for a heavily modified truck with an even more heavily modified twin-turbo Chevy big block engine.

Have a watch of the video. And then go and hide somewhere safe.
