You must have heard of Jay Leno by now. He is a famous television host who used to be the host of the popular The Tonight Show with Jay Leno! What you probably don`t know about him, is the fact that he owns an incredible tank car a.k.a. the Blastolene Special! We have not one, not two, but THREE videos of his incredible ride! The Blastolene Special weighs about 9800lb, and has a 1953 Chrysler engine from a tank that Jay converted into the car you will see in the video! Jay told the cameraman that he has got it up to 140 miles per hour, and rated the tank car at 1700 horsepower! Not only does this car look incredible, it is also quite powerful!

In this video, the tank car is in the capable hands of Gale Banks Engineering. Their job was to boost the performance of this amazing ride, and they did! Apparently, when it first came in the race shop, this beauty had 810 horsepower. After leaving the shop however, the horsepower was almost doubled, and reached 1600! Furthermore, Jay Leno said that even the fuel economy got better! We guess the employees at Gale Banks Engineering did a marvelous job at improving this tank car!
