;389087'] but there is something impressive about a giant truck doing that - and likely up a muddy hill in the middle of winter.

Lol, I got stuck in my drive way on a 1 1/2" lip of ice 15 mins ago. I Actually had to put in four wheel drive, to get out.

Every time i go over something like that with a sharp edge im always terrified cause it always scrapes the underside of the car ;( But it doesn't happen too often luckily.

i once time a daihatsu quore doing 0-100kph in a staggering 18.7secs and a top speed of 135kph

 

also a VW Fox doing 0-100kph in 17 sec and a top of 155kph

 

it felt like i was doing 200kph or something though

In private, a 1977 Chevy Corvette. Some tuning's brought power up to around 350 horses, which is a nice start.

For work. A NM 217 Bergepanzer on a Leopard tank chassis. Powered by a twin supercharged 37.4 litre V10, with over 2800 NM of torque. Surprisingly, it's also plenty lively to drive. Wednesday, I spent a couple of hours putting it seriously sideways around corners on a snow circuit as a part of winter driving training.

All in all, I'm quite happy with what I've ended up with.:)

nice GTO in the back there (nice Corvette too).

 

but what in the world do you do for a living?

 

Not my GTO though. That pic was from when it was still back in the US. Now, it lies in several pieces in m garage, being prepared for a full repaint and some other upgrades.

 

As for what I do for a living. Just serving my time in the military. Dragoon in the Norwegian Panzerbatalion.

 

We shall put that in a Veryon SS!

 

The whole drivetrain weights roughly 5 tonnes though, so the poor Veyron will potentially suffer a bit.:D I and the other crew members have however fiddled with the idea of trying to get a drivetrain and install it in the bed of a Chevy Dually Pickup, powering the rear wheels. With sufficent bracing to support the chassis, it should be possible!

That's pretty cool, though! Hopefully you guys get it working right! ;)

 

I wonder what else it can power. :hmmm: This will eventually turn into Jeremy Clarkson's V8 powered thing, but instead a 37.4 liter V10!

With that setup, you could even be able to keep the original engine and let it power the front wheels or something. :lol: Though it would probably get annihilated by the V10's force.

An SVT Cobra R. Impressive! I can see that being a family heirloom for you for a long time in the future. :)

Tell you the truth it isn't a pure Cobra R it's actualy just a conversion my father did for a regular SVT cobra but then he converted it and now its all the parts from the actual cobra R same engine and everything but like i said it is originally a regular SVT cobra
