2,200 HP Saleen S7 on the dyno

Our import friends brag about 300 and 400hp, our Supra friends think their 600hp street machines and 1000hp dyno queens are cool. For Vipers and Vettes 1000 hp is a good start, but for our friends who own Saleens, well I guess you just need a few thousand horsepower to be cool. The truth is a couple hundred horsepower is very doable on a lot of engines these days with deep enough pockets and we don’t really get too caught up with dyno bragging rights here at IG, but there is something really cool about this video. I think it’s the lunacy of it all, and the insane sound, or maybe that it’s that even the camera man kind of decides to back off a bit as the car winds down.

Ford F100 panel truck

Wagons are cool, panel trucks are even cooler. We love things of utility that also have style and I think the 1956 Ford F100 panel truck fits that to a tea so when I spotted this one at the WHDOW reunion I knew I wanted to get some shots of it. I’m pretty sure when Ford produced the F100 they did not intend for it to be a show truck, little did they know a little blitz black paint, some killer green wheels, with a nice aggressive stance the results would be a real head turning.

Ford F100 Panel Truck

This model is a 1956 which apparently was a great year for panel trucks. It’s working days behind it, now it’s only job is to be cool. This Panel truck is Chevy powered and some of you will freak about that but let’s be honest it’s probably the cheapest easiest way to go. Plenty more photos after the jump.
