The ones produced recently all make in the neighborhood of 300HP, I don't understand why the feel the need to do any more. Everytime I see one (and there are lots just like you describe) I think "Hows it feel to throw money away sucker?"

Like the Dodge/Cummins I was behind tonight, ridiculous 12" chrome stack coming up behind the cab, absolutely BELCHING soot every time he got on the throttle. I mean it was like a 19th century locomotive. At least the Cummins was mean to be a diesel from the start. But not modded like that, I'd reckon.
