Summary for would-be in game performance: Overall this vehicle would be promising although its mediocre handling is likely to turn away many cc2 enthusiasts…however it is deadly fast for what it is, heavy and has substantial durability (although not incredible, as the Honda Ridgeline matches it somewhat but surely better than almost all tier 1’s). This vehicle would not fare well in derby modes like bomb tag or freeze tag (the lattermost for sure not, unless you just focus on killing the taggers). However, in TDM, any conversion mode and FFA, this vehicle would be very deadly in the right hands, if you could use it lethally despite its weak handling and large size. Would be very fun in derby due to its brutal modded performance and rather high damage output, and remarkable durability for a tier 1…in its price range, the only cars to rival it in durability is the Tesla model 3, Honda Ridgeline, and the Dodge Charger police (with a plow). Great vehicle overall but not a handler for sure.
A brief History Overview: One of my rather less-well known and all time favorites that I decided to suggest. This vehicle is astounding and hilarious, as well as practical and reliable. This 550 horsepower, ~6300 pound boat was the solution to the growing crime problem in Saudi, in which the Saudis came to GM asking for a machine that could withstand enemy fire and run the enemy down–and obliterate them, if necessary. According to research, sources indicate that it was initially given the 7.4 liter 454 and the 4 speed automatic standard on the 2500 version, but it was quickly dismissed for a 9.9 liter monstrosity of a marine engine. With Mercury Marine designing the racing long-tube intake manifold/tubing with a diameter of about 6 inches. The chevrolet 454ss exhaust is added as well along with the enormous and well-filtered intake, creating quite a nasty engine note as well as acceleration. Goodness knows what would happen if one were to supercharge or turbocharge this motor.
Needless to say this was likely a very successful take, being durable, reliable and although not handling very well, being extremely practical and FAST. Likely an instrument of crime-liquidating weaponry.
Not many of these were made, but are extremely unique and fun vehicles.
