Standard power is a V8 Block

However, an optional tubine powered model is available too for those who are already deaf.

When started and driven around, this thing drew a bigger crowd than a pornstar in a tank top with a neck full of mardi-gras beads (she was in the next row over).

I had my back to the V8 and was about 5 feet away when they started it up. I literally jumped 2 feet in the air thinking something exploded behind me. My 40 around my neck on a strap whacked me good in the chin. But hearing the turbine spool up and light off was amazing. By the time it lit off, there was a crowd of close to a hundred people gathered around.

I'm not so sure about that, do you have a photo so I can decide for myself? :lol:
