The T-Rex 6X6 concept truck was powered by a 500 horsepower Viper V10. I actually prefer this to the SRT-10 Ram, simply because this is what a truck is all about. Here is a link to more info and pictures of this truck: http://www.supercars.net/cars/1997@$...0Conceptg.html

That thing was way insane. Thought the military should have bought some. It would be great to see them running over al-qaiuda scum.

I guess I was wrong about the engne. Apparently it was a V-10. It didn't run very well, though......most prototypes don't run well. They usually wait until they build the pilot vehicles before they start testing the drivetrain. We had a bunch of Buick prototypes that barely ran at all. They just needed to be moved around on the show floor and on and off the transport trucks. Some of them could barely do that. I thought it was made earlier than 97, but with as much beer as I consume, my memory can't always be trusted. It probably was though. I left the company in early 98.

He better kick your ***....thats what, your 200hp vs his 240hp? And from what I've read those S2000s are all top end, but its no reason to fear vtec.
