I just thought the premise of the aliens not expecting analog targeting from an old Iowa class was brilliant. I did not expect it. And the power from a battery of old 16 inch guns is awe inspiring and completely believable.

Funny. I just watched the movie Battleship last night because my wife hadn't seen it. And there's a great tour of the Missouri on the Bluray disc.

I thought Battleship was a great movie.

Pearl Harbor is a bucket list thing for me.

Sure.

I don't think there is a 'limit rule', per se, especially during qualifying since there is enough time.

"Interesting to note, the tallblock isn't simply replaced with a backup because the crewchief might want to change compression ratios depending on the previous runs' data."

Factory tow ratings are determined by a host of factors, mainly driveline durability and its ability to disperse heat, braking capability and overall stability, all while being able to maintain a safe and prudent speed.

Shit, a Toyota can do that....

Jeepers that's a lot of weight.

The driver had a plexi floor window so he could see to steer....with seperate rear brake pedals......

The ultimate engine/trans swap.

Weak sauce.

that's a classic.

That was a blown iron block Hemi, probably on alcohol. A pretty reliable 2000 hp back in the day. I would think a little imagination regarding the tipping point, and you might be able to do it with less today.....
