S-10 diesel drag truck: 7.723

The Banks Sidewinder S-10 drag race team achieved another milestone in diesel performance when it ran well into the 7.70s with a 7.72 best at 179.21 mph during the 2008 Super Chevy Show at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana. The world's quickest and fastest diesel drag truck backed up the 7.72 with a 7.78, 179.23 later in the day, making it one of the quickest and fastest vehicles on the grounds -- period.

1 thing Banks doesn't say is how much nitrous they use to keep the smoke down.. pretty much the truck is running on very little diesel and a shit ton or nitrous! 

@Deepinher01 Nitrous is not a fuel. Spray any amount you like into any engine and it won't run on nitrous alone. All the power an engine can possibly make is contained in the fuel. Nitrous does not add any power to the fuel period. It's simply changes the burn rate (speeds it up) while allowing you to add more fuel and make even more power. You're still limited on the power output by the amount of fuel present. By the way, we use about 3 lbs of N2O per run I wouldn't really call that a "ton".

I assume this is on old Pro Stock Truck re-powered with a diesel engine.

What brand of engine does it have?

Great ET and MPH for any class of truck!

[bankspowerinsider]

@OzzInter It's a 6.6L Duramax Diesel engine

this doesnt have nothing on DR.PERFORMANCE!

[bankspowerinsider]

Dr. Performance is nearly a second slower in the quarter than this truck.

Fastest Dr. Performance: 8.43

Fastest Banks Sidewinder: 7.77

@thumpetto007 : All you young fellers and yer newfangled ideas. Ya ain't got no respect fer tradition. Black smoke sez, "Hah! I got so much power, I don't even need all this, I kin just toss it out mah stack!" Now, if'n you'll excuse me, I got to chase some kids off mah lawn. ;)

this makes me love diesel all the more! what is so amazing is that one could drop this engine just the way it is in a properly equiped full-sized truck and drive around town with it. Not only that, but if one were so enclined one could run WVO or ATF in her and have a great performing truck that would cost zero in fuel. there are just no challengers diesel is the best.

@ExUSSailor, Take all the nasty dirty diesel drag trucks in the world, multiply their lifetime emissions x 100,000 and you still have less than 1/1000th of a seconds worth of particulate matter or greenhouse gas emission from your average erupting volcano. I'm about as green as they get but your slam on diesel drag trucks is wasted- there's not enough of them in the world to make a difference. Besides, the new diesel technology is cleaner than ever and more efficient than gasoline engines.
