Seeing a triple turbo Cummins destroy a Camaro ZL1 on the quarter mile is impressive. After all, the Camaro is built for speed and acceleration. Also, the truck also has a lot of weight to carry.
What’s really impressive is the thought of being able to jack up an engine beyond the point of its intended ability to perform. It’s about the ability to take something and make it more than what it is.
People may not realize it, but it’s not all about super-charged engines. It’s really about them! Somewhere deep down inside, they’re thinking, “I can do more. I can be more. I am more.” The owner of a 7000 pound machine, that is meant to pull trailers, changed the nature of how we look at trucks that size.
That’s a good thing because it says a lot about the truck and the person who made it more than what it was intended to be.
