wow

that is just so awesome images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

and another thing that amazes me is this monster's engine: a 5.7 liter diesel engine producing...84 bhp!! i didn't know it's possible to get so little power from such a big engine.

Needs Audi V12 TDI imo

maybe its torque that matters images/smilies/unsure.gif

andyhui01 · September 19th, 2006, 2:11 PM

you just need mainly torque for offroading images/smilies/biggrin.gif

... just look at the specs of the Hummer H1 images/smilies/biggrin.gif

That doesn't look too stable. Although I'd love to see it running over regular Smarts. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

A challenge that vs a supercharged Range Rover vs a Bowler Wildcat

Very "cool" though images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

The Rover and Bowler would probably get an early lead, but the monster-smart could take shortcuts. images/smilies/wink.gif

No not for me, no place to put the kids and getting the shopping in the back would be a problem for the missus, she is only 5' 3". images/smilies/mrgreen.gif
