The Dodge Rumble Bee truck was kind of neat for its time. While it had no real discernible performance parts on it outside of the big 20″ wheels, the attitude was right. It wore a stripe package like the Super Bee of old, it was available in only yellow or black, and it kept the dimming light of the “sport truck” flickering when there were no other options out there. This truck is a completely different story. Packing a 392ci stroker late model Hemi and force fed by a pair of 76mm turbos, this truck is a legit monster and it all seems to fit under the factory hood. When the driver hammers the throttle here and really winds the truck up, it seems as though it is trying to take the dyno rollers and spin them into the next county. This truck must really be a handful when the boost comes on. Yowza!
Having just gotten off a few day stint with a boosted late model Hemi myself, I can personally speak to the bad assery that ensues when you start making that engine eat more than the atmosphere will feed it. Outside of the massive intercooler behind the grill there does not seem to be anything pointing to the fact that this truck makes 1,000hp at the flywheel.
Maybe I have been harping on this point too hard this week but c’amon. This guy made these dyno rips and presumably drove the thing out of the bay and back to his house. It is no big thing, it is just what we do these days. THAT IS FREAKING AMAZING and we totally take it for granted. In fact we bet there’s a percentage of you out there thinking, “It ONLY made 820 to the wheels?” We’re some jaded mofos these days but wow is it fun!
Whats with all the smoke ?? or are the tires spinning ??
Looks like it’s cold there, some of it I think is condensation from the exhaust.
