[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Owned by the popular and charasmatic American chat show host, Jay Leno, the 'Tank Car' is one of the most powerful cars on the planet.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Blastolene Special, built by Randy Grubb, is powered by a 29 litre WWII M47 Patton tank engine, hence the name, obviously.
This gigantic engine puts out 1600 bhp @ 2800 rpm and 1600 ft lbs of torque at 2400 rpm. All this power is run through an Allison HD4060 6 speed automatic gearbox, giving the 9 tonne Tank Car a 0-60 sprint time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph.[/FONT]
