Yes I agree 👍

 

[Raptor65]

I would be embarrassed to have one sitting in my driveway. For however much they spent on those "things" I could probably have a nice, cool Lamborghini Murcielago in my driveway, which is something I wouldn't mind one bit.

8 cylinders and 6 turbos, how exactly does that work?

I know your intitled to your opinion but Trucks are awesome man! Its art on wheels, plus you can sleep in the back (which you cant do in a Lambo), have a small fridge to carry a few drinks (hint hint) and some snacks (again, not in a diablo), and you get alot of respect from lots of people. Its big, beautiful, powerful, I like it.

My guess is they work as one. Or like some twin turbo's where they turn on as they are needed...

What?? A bunch of stupid rednecks probably

Yea, but 8 into 6, it doesn't work out evenly, 3 turbo's per bank of 4 cylinders, although I suppose it could work.

Only the last one (Slingshot II) is a racing truck by the looks of it...I like the first two though...any shots of the Shark's interior?

This explanation has probably some glitches so anyone, fill in.

A multiple stage turbo setup is often used when you want to have a high output from a very large displacement engine. e.g. this 14.2. It is not possible to get the engine driveable with a turbo (or several) of one size in h.o. mode so it has turbos in different sizes.
On low rpms small turbo is the only one working. On higher revs the bigger turbo also starts to work and with a regulation system it has a gradual onset.

I'm not sure about this trucks setup but it would probably be 2 smaller and one big turbo for each cylinderbank.

In tractorpullings euro stock series I know some guys are running a 3-stage setup and I think there is one guy that has a 4-stager.

 

[Wombaroo]

Makes the Swanson man truck look prity lame

 

[XenoN]

Niiice, very nice. These are not smth what you see everyday.
"3.000 hp @ 4.200 rpm. 6.200 Nm torque" damn crazy numbers Maybe you know 1/4m, 0-100km/h times?

Sorry, but I'd rather have one of them trucks, than a Lambo Murky Lager.

 

[burnoutzzzz]

atleast when the ppl u hit see those trucks they have a good reason to die
