best place to race a stoplight that kills traffice before you go onto a 4 lane highway, too bad its only 2 straight lanes or we could have some nasty 4 way races......
btw i dont know who said 18 wheelers have 3 times the amount of cylinders but they DONT unless you got a 2 cylinder
they are MOSTLY all I-6 TURBODIESELS, and suprisingly only make mid 300 hp, but the tq is over 1,000 FT LBS!!!! ****ing motor is i think over 10L too

yup. they redline at like 2800rpms. my friends dad has a mitsu-fuso for their warehouse, me him and his brother drove it(his brother did) and its a 7 spd redlines at 3200rpms. the big semi's are sometimes 16spd or even 24. listen to one take off, they usualy start in 2nd or 3rd and you will hear them shift 4-5 times before they hit 35mph. they are geared to be able to haul cargo, not ass. 1st gear bairly gets it moving.
