Going thru the gears in a CAT V8 powered 80 ton road train

Only watch this if you like big bore V8s and you've got good speakers with the volume cranked right up! Cab ride on the Nullarbor Plain in South Australia near the roadhouse. If you've ever wondered how long it takes to get up to speed @ 80 tons with 600 HP this will give you some idea. More vids to follow later. Please rate and comment!

Do u know where this was or any thing bout it

[gm16v149]

@4fun2w It disappeared but I saw it being built up in Adelaide and it had twin compound turbos and yes it was putting out around the HP you mentioned. I saw it a few times, it was quick. You wouldn't get away with that these days.

Lucky there is no traffic,you're on the wrong side of the road. Better get some sleep.

[gm16v149]

@llib245 Yeah mate and the steering wheel is on the wrong side too, and I get too much sleep if anything, but thank you for your concern.

@leokimvideo There's a lot of truck videos out there. Deep down I think most people would like to roar off into the sunset in a Kenworth or Mack truck :)
