No...it's far too short. The real question, is with that 14L 550bhp Diesel, how much torque is it producing? I'd wager something on the order of 6-10,000lb-ft.

ya, i was thinking of torque as well. deisel engines never have too much power. i'm driving a Dodge Ram 2500 turbo deisel right now, with a 6L V6 i think, and it only makes around 179bhp i think. but the TORQUE, now thats sometime to behold :twisted:
i can only imagine how much that huge as semi makes :shock:

Do the trailers have steering also? Agreed on the props to the driver. Lets see if he can parrallel park it.
