Post You never know what lurks under a hood

A co-worker who owns an Explorer just sent me an email asking: "Can we say Lightning killer?" along with this link.

I immediately fired back an email to him asking: "Can you say Troll killer?" and sent him this link.

Don't worry, he's running on Firestone tires. Hang back and videotape it.

I think that's a cool truck, actually.

However, a blown 347 should make more power than that with all the other goodies it has...just my opinion. I guess I've been messing with blown 5-liters for too long.

Still, nearly 500rwhp is nothing to sneeze at. Wonder what that thing runs in the 1/4?

Brimstone,

It's a nice looking vehicle with sporty side skirts, Cobra R-type wheels I think, and the interior is cool. But, they don't run that well. Mid-14s, I believe. Not shabby for a 5.0 motor'd vehicle that weighs 5000lbs, but this "Troll" above has to be much quicker.
