Are you fucking kidding me?

I don’t know... It’s pretty cool, but making an unusual vehicle go fast is only a mild engineering challenge for those used to making things go fast.  I want to see the thing till or plant corn at 100mph.  Now THAT would be a serious engineering challenge. 

What qualifies something to be a tractor? I have a feeling someone could (and probably has somewhere in the South) put a crotch-rocket engine in a lawn-tractor and blow that speed record out of the water... 

If the rain keeps up much longer i can just swim to work., problem solved!

I would love to see the dyno sheets and/or source proving that, because everything out there in all the MOPAR forums with dyno sheets says the exact opposite, that FCA frequently downplays the output and especially on the 5.7

Regular Hellcats are *only 70717 HP,

I priced out a widebody Challenger Scat Pack yesterday with all the options for $55k.  Not only am I happy that there is a HP/torque arms race, but I’m ecstatic that it is all so affordable.  

I am anxiously awaiting hot takes from LS fans.

It’s better to beg forgiveness than ask permission....

I am glad to be alive in a world with such magical, wonderful things as Vitamix blenders, SAXX ginch and 760 hp, supercharged flat plane V8 Mustangs.  

Earth-shattering, or crowd-shattering?

760Hp! because 662 couldn’t scare the cars and coffee crowds enough, here’s another 100 pony’s to play with. Go see what you can do hot shot!

Now all I have to do is to convince my wife that I need one of these so that the grandkids are never late to soccer practice again.
