Re: Start your engines...
I was looking back on the last couple of years and found a few videos to finally upload. Here was one of my trucks on the dyno after a new tune. Albeit a bit different than that badass Mustang dyno vid!

Re: Start your engines...
The torque those trucks make is unreal. The racers that come down from Canada said they do very little to the engines. They just heat and bend the front axle for camber and lighten them up, they put on a great show! They will melt the tires off down the entire straight!

That's just a road truck, but made over 2200 ft. lbs. Those Canadians, especially in Quebec, are all into the drag trucks.

Love this thread!

As a hardcore military modeler and lifetime aviation freak I have to include my favorite beasties! WWII aircaraft engines forever!
Crank up the voulume to hear the sounds of the all mighty Rolls Royce Merlin V12 and Pratt&Whitney R2800 aero engines. You must experience these in person to appreciate them fully. These are the sounds of the gods!

B-25 Mitchell with twin Wright r2600's.
[youtube]v4LgaEJgXbU&[/youtube]
And just for fun a monster Wright R3350 on a test stand. This would shake the ground and also shake your guts out! These engines were used in aircraft such as the B-29, Boxcar and Skyraider. Four of these powered the B-29.

Re: Start your engines...
Love the aircraft! While the SR71 tops my list, this plane is still in action and not talked about very often. I had the pleasure of a few years back of seeing/hearing this plane do a low fly over. Unreal!

Re: Start your engines...
For me the sound of a BMW M1 Pro car at full wail is on a completely different level from other vintage race cars.

And then a great vintage racer matchup, the BMW M1 vs a 911 Turbo, neither guy wanting to give an inch!

Re: Start your engines...
I know nothing about boats but enough to understand that if I had big dolla's a Fountain Poker Run wouldn't be a bad choice. I love this vid where a Poker Run passes this other boat going flat out.

Any buggy driven by Tim Cameron sounds good:

Re: Start your engines...
I've had this in my YouTube Favorites for years, I still get heart palpitations hearing that Hemi wind up. Watching this highly-modified Challenger reel in and pass Porsches & Ferraris is just the gravy!
When you can get a Challenger to handle like that, it's like when Happy Gilmore learns to putt....watch out!
