yeah, but getting that much weight to move at all would take a hell of a lot of hp. I think they should simplify matters and just chain 2 or 3 top fuel diggers to it, they'd get it moving in no time.

A modern industrial deisel engine, like ones in freight locomotives and this thing, has about 12 cylinders, each one displacing a WHOLE HELL OF A LOT of area, like a couple civic engeins. they're usualy installed upside down, so you can change the rods and bearings easier.

Yep, it's the biggest tracked vehicle in human history. I was down in Cape Canaveral while they were hauling the shuttle to the launch pad. I was within 100 feet of this thing when it went by. Imagine seeing a skyscraper going down the road. That's what it looked like.
