Turbo truck goes down hard.
 

I was sitting at a red light minding my own business and i hear a truck pull up beside me. It sounded really mean. Also there was a sound coming from underneath the hood. I couldnt quite figure it out until he jumped on it for a sec. I knew then it was a big *** turbo. As the light turned green we get on it. I started pulling from him right away. As i was just leaving him behind i could hear the turbo from his truck whining. He never could catch back up to me. The truck was all sound and no go. That Kenworth never knew what hit him.:D

Pretty weird to hear of a truck with aftermarket turbo that wouldn't be fast. turbo. What kinda truck was it? Maybe it was a gear drive or leaky intake sound?

Now I read your last line. ******!

Gotta watch out for those Kenworths, at least the ones with the jet engines. Good kill.:)

Sky, he lined up with a Kenworth semi tractor trailer.

I race a Kenworth once, I was in the cobra.. Good thing I won too. He was right behind me on the highway on the down side of a Tn. mountain and gaining fast before I realized WTH was going on.. All I could think was "WHEW! good thing I wasn't driving a 4 banger!" :)

That whistle gets me all the time, i ride along side just to hear them run through a few gears.

I love the sound of turbos. In fact I sit on one pushing 460 rwhp. All this out of a six banger pushing 120,000 pounds.


11 gears of driving pleasure:)

Hey 5oh, you had us going...from the subject line I thought you meant Syclone/Typhoon, or possibly a powerstroke diesel. Clever...
