The long-running <em>This vs. That<\/em> drag racing series has a new 1,000-foot dirt track with jumps, whoops, and hills. And if this first video is any indication of what&#8217;s to come, stock up on extra popcorn.<\/p>\n<p>One could do worse than kick off a racing video with a gnarly monster truck. Actually, owner Devon Villeneuve calls it <em>Flyboy<\/em>, but we&#8217;ll just call it the most insane 1937 Ford we&#8217;ve ever seen. Aside from huge tractor tires and suspension components that extend above the hood, there&#8217;s a 9.0-liter (568 cubic-inch) Chevrolet V8 crowned with a big supercharger. It runs on alcohol, and according to the video, it makes somewhere between 1,600 and 1,800 horsepower. So yeah, insane.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so over-the-top that it makes a tube-chassis Chevrolet Silverado Prerunner look tame. Kenny Falconer is the owner and builder of this pickup, and we emphasize the word <em>build<\/em>. He literally assembled the tube frame in his garage, and he built up a turbocharged LS V8 to make it go. The engine makes 615 hp and 700 pound-feet of torque to the wheels, and though it doesn&#8217;t sit nearly as high as its <em>This vs. That<\/em> competitor, it has no problem tackling bumps or taking flight.<\/p>\n<p>That brings us to the racing action, and in a word, it&#8217;s good. As per <em>This vs. That<\/em> rules, it&#8217;s a best-of-three competition that starts with a pure heads-up race. You might be tempted to close down the video after seeing the monster truck immediately leap to a big lead, but don&#8217;t. The Prerunner is way down on power, but it&#8217;s built to go fast over anything and <em>whoa, Nellie<\/em> does it come on strong at the other end.<\/p>\n<p>We won&#8217;t spoil any of the outcomes, but we will say this. Every race is shockingly close, with each truck clearly holding advantages and disadvantages through various sections of the course. We&#8217;re looking forward to seeing what&#8217;s next in this down-and-dirty series.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/691042\/monster-truck-chevy-silverado-prerunner-off-road-drag-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Folks, the Hoonigan crew have moved off-road.
