Video - Jay Leno's Piss'd Off Pete by the Blastolene Brothers!

Towards the end of the SEMA 2009 Show I was walking around getting a few last pictures of any cars I missed and came across the guy in charge of Piss'd Off Pete getting ready to rev up the engine so I took this short video of the engine running and then walked around the truck and shot some video of the truck itself.

Turn up your speakers and watch to see the entire truck rocking back and forth every time he revs up the engine. Also watch for this guy to to a little dance afterwards.

Pretty cool...

Piss'd Off Pete
This is Jay Leno's 1960 chopped Peterbilt with a 852ci two-stroke Detroit Diesel twin-supercharged V12 mated to an Allison 4-speed automatic transmission from a Greyhound bus. The engine produces 500 horsepower and nearly 1000 lb-ft torque with a redline of just 2,800 rpm. Built by the Blastolene Brothers.


Here's a few still shots I snapped...

It was really just a case of being in the right place at the right time and having the video feature built-in to the Canon Rebel.

Guess you got lucky! I would love to see a vehicle like that in person. The rear end shots give a great idea of how custom that rig is.

Gotta love Canon as well! I've been saving up for a 5d mkii, but then the 7d came out with 8fps. Now I'm just lost...
