Italian vs. American technology, looks like a new line drawn in the playground sandbox.

+1 (big time) epic journey right there. Would love to make a trip like that in my lifetime.

congrats to Fabio none the less though, one of the great innovators of this sport/hobby.

Real competition.

Congrats to the Italians!

Impressive- I would like to know more about that boat.

Makes what Chris and Tyson did all the more incredible.
I'm sure the phone lines at Statement are hot today!

I would think they have the FPT 560 hp diesel's in her .
he use's them in other race boat's and from what I have herd they can be turned up a bit in hp with just a map change .
also I also think that cummins get's there block's from them .

I was also told earlier that Cummins buy their blocks from FPT but thats wrong.
Cummins make their own blocks but get the topends from FPT. Cylinderhead and all the hardware for the commonrail-injection.
