Semi Trucks Can Do Sick Donuts, Now That You Ask
Semi Trucks Can Do Sick Donuts, Now That You Ask-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:10

Some of the best vehicle-related entertainment around is done by vehicles least likely to entertain, like school buses or . That same sentiment goes for 2,400-horsepower semi trucks shredding their tires, which is, apparently, a thing.

Yes, semis can . Thanks for asking.

The Hoonigans got with stunt driver Mike Ryan, who, according to the video description, has been in everything from the Avengersto ,for a recent shoot featuring a racing trailer cab of his. In addition to claiming to have nearly five times the number of horses of the most powerful, 505-HP semi engine listed on the Mack Trucks , the truck has a wing on the back of it—you know, for downforce.

The Hoonigan Daily Transmission account that posted the video on Earth Day added a hashtag in the comments, but the truck action is fun to watch no matter the day of the year. It starts at about 10 minutes in:

There’s also talk about the truck starting around two minutes in,including some staggering stats: Ryan mentioned its roughly 2,400 HP, estimated 4,000 lb-ft of torque (take that, ), and 1,800 pounds of downforce at 80 mph at sea level—almost as much . Ryan mentions sea level because he with his semis, as one does.

This particular truck, Ryan said, has a double-wide,short-course Champ Car wing from the late 1990s and a scale-busting weight of about 10,700to 10,800 pounds—more than twice that of the .

It also has those popular chrome decals of posed naked womenand a “naked-lady helmet holder” inside,which people off camera respond to by saying “Oh, yeah” and “Hell yeah,” and which probably shouldn’t have made the cut, but maybe that’s what happens when there are no women in a video.The truck is cool, though, and so are the stunts. Sometimes, that’s all we can ask.

Now, go watch some school buses race each other on a figure-eight track, or some folks competing in their absurd riding lawnmowers. Life is stressful; you deserve it.
