Thunder run (1986) car chase 2

[Nathanrailfan]

I wish I met this mother fucker in a cabover so I can hit him head on and die!!!

[73f1004x4]

thats a detroit but its not the v12 its a smaller motor because its in a cabover. my dad used to drive a kw just like that.

[speedskiff2]

what an inglorious end to an old KW COE, especially if it had twin 238's in it. Sounded more like an 8V71.

[ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1]

wow that 12v71 detroit screams

[wreckchaser]

@ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1

The truck will have two air intakes if it was a real v-12 engine. Also the v-12 engine is so large you would see it sticking out form under the rear of the cab. This most likely is just a in line 6 big cam cummings.

[j5sully2012]

ha yeah like that big old heavy thing would hang with that 350 on dirt roads.

[HBMAN665420]

right a 305 or 350 chevy being caught by a v12 pete fucking hollyweird.

[gasflame62]

i hate 80's music

[MeGaHiLlBiLlYdElUxE]

Pete 362?

[JohnDeere30201]

@MeGaHiLlBiLlYdElUxE no a kenoworth dont know what model

[Nathanrailfan]

WOw a CABOVER! You don't see cabover's anymore these days.

[TheBrett56]

he's reely haulin whas under the bonnet

A V12 WTF

[jetpoweredgriffin]

@TheBrett

There were Detroit Diesel V12's(12V-71) back then-

less than 2mpg.

That's why they don't run 'em anymore.

Werner ttrucking has a V-12 Cat powered truck in their collection,but it's the same story and the Cat is heavier,too.

Big Detroits are where Roots-type blowers(superchargers)were really perfected.

They were gear-driven on the Detroits(all 2-stroke motors)but were converted to belt-drive for drag racing.

Whenever you see a dragster,you're looking at the Detroit legend.

[biglandon5]

is this a rip off of duel or something?

[hiroshima32]

That was my most favorite movie of all time back then.

[Phil0267]

What a crappy movie. "Duel" with Dennis Weaver was much better.

[sgtpepper1138]

you have to take a film like this for what it is

good 80s B-movie cheese.

comparing this to Duel, is like comparing Trancers to Blade Runner.

[whiteandgold26]

@Phil0267

Yes, but the best part about the movie is the Kenworth(conventional cab) with the 8v92 and that cabover with the 12v(v12).

[Nathanrailfan]

@Phil0267 look on the bright side, at least it didn't have today's computer bullshit. All movies of today are and forever will be bullshit.

[1988diesel]

it sounds more like an 8v71.

[temco007]

this movie rocks just a pitty it wasn't a mack truck, it would have made it all the way there lol

[my3406cat]

hauling plutonium in tha back of a pick up? thats nice... lol

[andyovhatfield]

Another wicked chase clip, tnx.

[Pope54x]

Dumbass thats a 12v71 Detroit it sounds like it.

[Righty736]

one case where the people that made the movie got it right! They say it's a v12 and its awesome.

Can't have a truck chase without a detroit.

[RTD8481]

They use two different Kenworth K100s. A 1963 and a 1981 K100 model.

[rxeightguy22]

Movie career ending line #374: "He's not interested in the plutonium! That mother is crazy!"

[Hotrodx199]

"that thing is really hauling whats it got in that thing? a v12" prolly a 12v71T detroit.

[DEFRANSS123]

i remember i have it on BETAMAX tape video i never refound it on DVD ! crazy !

[sgtpepper1138]

you can get it on ebay on dvd now I guess. I'll have to pick it up

i'm not expecting fantastic quality or anything, but it would be nice to have.

[104trucker]

poor ol chev its magically fixed through 3:50-4:01 and man that v 12 is totaled

[HemiJeep19]

Definitely awesome! I remember this from when I was a kid!

[kukusha142]

[hvychvy383]
