[Easyrecliner]

A round of applause to the clutch manufacturer.

"You measure your torque in pounds. I measure mine in tons. We are not the same."

[FrankieCreates]

That semi driver is the final boss, that dude shifting in ultra instinct

[bagsflyfree]

You bet your ass that dude was in there slamming those gears like it was his last race ever. Look at him through the front window 😂

[armaletalia]

If the T-1000 knew how to drive a semi like that, John Connor would have been dead.

[howiefeltersnatch]

Can we all take a minute to appreciate old boy slammin them gears

[brandonkupper]

That damn rig sounded like it had traction control on the launch!!! This is impressive….

[kaidwyer]

that rig driver was like, “I ain’t losin’ to no Power Wheels!”

[ianmcdougall]

Bro you can see him for a second in the cab, mans shifting with his entire soul.

[aidanpysher]

Those EV Fords are ridiculously quick off the line, which makes that Kenworth even more amazing. JFC, that thing's fast.

[canaans]

Bro just increased the earth's temp like a full degree.

[jesusischrist]

This has to be the rig in all the scary movies when they can't outrun the semi even in a sports car 🤣

[fettlife]

That's "Sir Kenworth", my good man

Those Kenworths, when modified, are fast. One night around 11pm about a decade ago on a trip to Florida, i met a Kenworth i could not pass at 90 miles per hour. Up to that point in my life, i had never met a truck pulling a load and going that fast.

Finally a drag racing video that starts at green and not 10 minutes before tire warm-up.

[MrDan]

That Kenworth never left the starting line, it moved the Finish line to him.

[poostiu]

My guy is shifting as if he’s dodging bullets 😭

One truck I had, had a 650 Cat bumped to around 770hp for heavy pulling, with an 18 speed RoadRanger behind it with 3.35 rears. When bobtail, I could make that 18 speed act like a 3 speed with overdrive, starting in 5L (5 being the first gear in high range; L being low in the split). I then go to 6H, then 8L, then 8H at 80 mph - and never touch the clutch after taking off. Peterbilt said that truck would top out at 135....

By using this technique and slipping the clutch to get going, by the time the clutch was fully engaged I was going 35 mph.

I did this to a kid in a ricer. I shut it down at around 85 after a bit less than a half mile, and had slowed below 60 when he finally caught up to me doing about

If you know how to float and you know your truck, you can do spectacular things.... This dude is pretty durn good!!

Damn that guy can drive that rig. I've watched 20x now n I still am still surprised by how he's shifting that rig bravo sir. 👏
