lol, anyone who is in the military recently should recognize these rear tires.

on a side note, somewhere i heard that this awesome beast is LS1 powered....true?

DevilDougWS6 03-31-2009 04:00 AM

nevermind just looked it up. apparently powered by a vauxhaul 5.0l, making 500hp....

and the older keaton batmobile (trans am looking one) was built on an impala chassis powerd by a zz3 chevy 350.

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb, indeed.

Dilley 03-31-2009 10:40 AM

its got HOOSIER racetrack tires up front

7pointoh 03-31-2009 11:04 AM

It's called the Tumbler and I thought it did have a LS1 in it.

DevilDougWS6 03-31-2009 04:36 PM

i know its the tumbler. and yeah it has hoosiers up front, and those are super swamper tires used on HMMWVS, pretty sure they are made by interco, but they are the old style radials.

second best batmobile:

still cant find a straight answer about what motors they actually use. keep seeing 350 this, 5.7 that.

NJSPEEDER 03-31-2009 04:59 PM

Not an LS1, but still a Gen3 motor. Vauxhall = GM

i know that vauxhaul is GM, but one place says its a 350 chevy, and another it says 5.0L vauxhaul...........

sweetbmxrider 03-31-2009 06:13 PM

i forget but they are not authorized for military use, but a bunch of trucks were shipped out with those tires. if i had to guess, a unit ordered trucks, they built the trucks with leftover **** and said fug it.

It was to my understanding that it was powerd by a LS1 engine.

And Vaux doesnt make any V8's. The last one to make a 5.0 engine outside of GM NA was Holden, but I dont think that they shared it with anyone.

DevilDougWS6 04-02-2009 12:35 AM

multiple websites say a 5.0L vauxhaul......some say a ZZ3 350 chevy....some say both :shrug:

HeadlessNorseman 04-02-2009 07:10 AM

I dont think it matters a whole lot anyway. I like the original keaton bat mobile except for the nascar tires lol

DevilDougWS6 04-02-2009 02:50 PM

it has mickey ts all the way around.....
