Imagine the tire spin with that sucker!!!
I wonder if that would exceed the load range of my tires!!!
Cool pictures though, I wonder how they move it out of that factory and onto a ship??? Can a crane move 2300 tons???

I would think it is built on the boat, but in the picture it sure looks like a factory...
Oh well, they sure are some neat photos...
Kinda looks like an old Fireball I used to have, only scaled up a bit!!!

If any of you remember in the movie Titanic in the engine room... I've spent a couple hours or so walking around the real steam engine they used in the film. It's actually in a Liberty ship docked in San Francisco. I thought that thing was massive but that diesel makes it look tiny lol. The guy running it would stick his hand in between the counterweights to check if the bearings were getting hot or not while it was running.

Instead of quarter mile testing, just use like a 5 mile test...
"hey whats your car do the 5 mile in?"
"oh, you know, I'm runnin 8s!!"
