it's the wheels that make it look different. Pro "oversize load" truckdriver - nobody better at using exactly 100% of the road. Several of the Soobies, and Steve's Golf, make big power (300++ at the wheels) , but require wizard dyno tuning to avoid burning pistons, and real race gas to avoid detonation at 20+ psi boost.
