1,700 Horsepower Chevrolet Silverado Dominates Drag Strip
1,700 Horsepower Chevrolet Silverado Dominates Drag Strip-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:28

If you haven't seen the quarter-mile world record holding drag truck's 8.07 second run, it's worth watching just to hear a 1,700 horsepower Chevy Silverado idle.

The record this truck holds specifically is for "1999 and newer Chevy pickups." That might not be the most populated category of competition, but Rigo Trevino's turbo 427-powered Silverado puts on a hell of a show.

Could A Hyundai Pickup Be The Answer To Insanely Expensive Trucks?
Could A Hyundai Pickup Be The Answer To Insanely Expensive Trucks?
A completely unsubstantiated says Hyundai is bringing to the Detroit Auto Show next month. A baseless claim, but it got me thinking– if Hyundai undercut the hell out of the truck market and gave the US a barely-legal lightweight alternative, we might effectively have the "old Ranger" back. Hyundai would...
