It was a beast that was built on Monster Garage. It was powered by a Texas Speed LS engine that they said was 1200hp in the episode.
But yesterday at the Texas Mile there was no film crew, just the Jesse with a team of guys working on it. It was impressive to see, but watching the team react to the 2nd pass that broke 200mph was the real excitement.

Always amazes me, build an incredible, unique car and then stick a belly button powerplant in it. Makes me wonder if they ran out of money, imagination or talent.

I would be impressed if they had used a slant six, LS powered? Meh...  Supercharged Studebaker would have been cool. LS is in all fairness an excellent platform with a boatload of support which means you need very little talent and absolutely no imagination to run one. Crack 200 mph in a 62 Impala with one and I'm kinda there for you because that's an acceptable place to put one if you don't have the talent to do it with a 409. Lol. Kevin
