Video of the Fastest Diesel Truck: I'm Going to Fight it, But I'll Let it Live

Yesterday, we showed you the purported world's fastest diesel truck from Banks Power. Today, we've got video of the truck making it's quickest pass at the NHRA Nationals this October. When you watch the video you'll notice the driver is Wes Anderson. While you may not care for the miniaturist approach he takes to mise en scène or his quirky dialogue, you can't argue with the results. Some pictures of another Banks Sidewinder we snagged at the Detroit Grand Prix below:

The rpms aren't the diesel give away for me with that duramax.. until I heard the blow off valve(s). yikes. sounds like a gas engine but with the diesels big air move. amazing. My concept of diesels is tractor trailers and low rpms. the day a relatives 3406 cat pulled away from my car while bobtailing at 1800rpms max, I knew that they hinder diesel more than promote it for race.1300ft lbs ought to be a very fast IC machine if setup to be one. My bet is on the v8s for trucks and big trucks and can't wait for the evolution. Anyone heard a v8 scania run? mack superliner? They are out there. This banks team is a winner just for working with the v8 diesel regardless of outcome. I am glad to see it is a good one.

@billstewartx: It was a fairly rigged looking clip...

Sweet S10 though, what a beast.

@v250gto: "Some pictures of another Banks Sidewinder we snagged" is what we said, the one in the video is type-D, the one in the gallery is a different version.
