What channel is this on?

EDit: history channel. I'm surprised its not on bbc america.

[cherokee-at-16]

These guys are complete fucks. I don't want to watch it anymore after the first 5 minutes but I will. Nothing else on...

[Pete]

that batmobile looking thing is kinda odd and it just died

[Schickos881]

What a waste of 60k, but ill take the mtrs after he sinks that thing.

[Pete]

the air boat guy is nuts

[WAD357]

That car was fucking sick he hyrdo locked it cuz he was bombing through water with an open k&n what would you expect...... The air boat guy was fucking insane

[cherokee-at-16]

I love how obviously they make the how competition seem fair.
Chevy won their little race
ford the burn out
dodge the hill climb

I watched some diesels pull trains a couple years ago on youtube

After thoughts?

[Pat]

I think the Ford won personally. Although I think some of the things were fake. The ford definitely could have made it up the truck ramp and the chevy could definitely do a burnout because Ive done one in the EXACT truck. The ford is the only one that pulled something, The house was more jerking then anything. I want to see next weeks episode however with the bronco k5 and jeep.

[Pete]

next week looks cool with CJ. I think the ford took it

[WAD357]

Ford one for sure... next week looks cool

And I think the ford has the most hp? 400 ford 350 dodge and 397 chevy/gmc im pretty sure. Not sure about torque- cummins has always been king with torque but I don't have the specs. However- Dodge is the only one you can get in a manual anymore

The Cummins is now 800tq, I think they all are now or close to that. Ford is boasting highest hp numbers but the 397hp Duramax blew the new Powerstroke out of the water towing up a hill in Diesel Power's "King of the Hill" artilce a few issues back. I would like to see wheel hp ratings with dyno results to back them up, after reading that aricle the Ford must be loosing hp somewhere before it gets to the wheels.

I think that has to do alot with the transmission . The allison just can keep the truck in the (I guess you can call it power band- Correct me?) more so then the others. I heard the new allison they were experimenting with was something ridiculous from my friends father that is a service manger at a dealership- something like 15 speeds. I kind of doubt it will ever make it to production.
