    Probably did - this was only a 100 metres or so - just had to get the thing moving for a set distance. The previous attempt to this they drove 1km and coasted to a stop - was in West Australia

    Thats because that was a Cummins they said the Titan was stock well according to Mack Australia the Titan only comes with Cummins or Caterpillar we we're both wrong

    I agree - I phrased it wrong when I said Mack - my apoligies on that.

    Simple mistake personally though I think Mack needs to wake up and bring a big dog back under the hood

    Something Like This?

    The Mack Titan is powered by an E9 18 litre Mack V8 with four turbochargers and Nitrous Oxide injection. The heads are ported and polished, the pistons ceramic coated, the injectors are three times the size of original, with 2,000 brake horsepower the Titan can accelerate from 0-100 k.p.h in 4 seconds and from 0-200 in under 12 seconds. The Titan is the fastest diesel powered Truck in the world and runs the quarter-mile in less than 12 seconds @120 m.p.h and has a top speed of over 200 m.p.h .
