I think a turbo diesel C5 would be kind of cool, of course if one made it potent enough a big burnout like that might be all it would be good for LOL. Not sure the drivetrain could handle all that low end torque on sticky tires and drag racing.

Chris its a fiberglass replica made just for drag racing to be legal.. the bed of the truck is only 18" long you cant see it in that video..

But at the truck races he passes inspection as a pick up..
