Serious Motor Porn

Holy Mother of God.

3420 horsepower, 24 cylinders and 12 blowers.
It's gotta be a plumbers nightmare but DAYUM, is it cool!

Any old diesel mechanics out there would be able to tell you it was a Detroit just by listening to it blindfolded. They have a very distinct sound, especially when they are first started, before the idle smooths out.

Being a two stroke motor, they have damn good throttle response too.

I would pay money to see that thing in a truck that goes down the road.
