I know this is a bit offtopic as I didn't race my '08...but I figured you all would appreciate a semi truck drag race. The blue truck is a V12 Detroit, the white truck and the dragster are V8 Detroits.


Truck Drags at Woodburn OR

 

i love the sound of v8 detroits

 

ahh idk i think the v12 is the way to go in a drag truck lik the old international(bluetruck) the pete 351 has the better pull though. but they all sound good id like to see a v16 out of a cat rocktruck in a drag rig

 

Biggest difference is the weight and the international has an auto behind it which slows the 60 ft time a bit because he has to hold the brakes and air brakes don't release quick. The International did get the better top speed though at 109MPH to the Pete's 108 and was only .71 seconds slower ET.

 

oh ok i didnt get a good sound so i just was guessing they were both autos and i did notice that the international did have the better speed sory guys

 

Great video 66stang351! I'de like to have been there.

 

Go look tomorrow and look at my other videos and I will have a 32 minute video of semis racing...still converting it from HD right now. They also had pickups running but not a single '08 6.4 in the bunch.

 

that needle nose needs 2 b restored back to factory and put in my shop...

 

My dad has 3 old Petes he is working on, a '42, '49 and '51.
