I suppose that slow moving platform they have to move the spaceshuttle would be the biggest engine you can drive.

Probably the biggest, most powerfull thing I have drove was the Light Armored Vehicle-25 (LAV-25)




Primary function: Provide strategic mobility to reach and engage the threat, tactical mobility for effective use of fire power, fire power to defeat soft and armored targets, battlefield survivability to carry out combat missions.
Length: 251.6 inches (6.39 meters)
Height: 106.0 inches, (101.0 with pintle mount removed) (2.69 meters)
Width: 98.4 inches (turret facing forward) (2.5 meters)
Weight: 24,100 pounds (10,941 kilograms)
Combat Weight: 28,200 pounds (12,802.8 kilograms)
Range: 410 miles (660.1 kilometers)
Speed: 62 mph (99.2 km/hr)
Swim speed: 6 mph (9.6 km/hr)
Crew: Driver, gunner, commander and 6 troops
Armament: M242 25mm chain gun, M240 7.62mm machine gun mounted coaxial to the main gun
Unit Replacement Cost: $900,000


I am trying to find the stats on the horse power, etc.

A funny thing happened in one of these once. We were going to another base for a training exercise one day. Getting there required us to travel on the freeway. Well, some how, the speed governor was removed. Our caravan was clocked going almost 80 mph in a 65mph zone.

Biggest? well I drive a 4.4L Truck on a regular basis, and Iv driven a Mitsi Fighter, which I think has a 6 or 7L Turbo 6 in it. Big fucken motor any way, with a huge Turbo the size of your head and blowoff valve that made the cab shake. (good way to scare the rice boys)

Biggest engined car would be a 540i BMW 4.4L V8, and the fastest car would be a replica MK1 Escort Works rally car, with a lot more power than they had in the 60s, followed very closely by a heavily tweaked GTs-T skyline coupe.
Smallest enigined car would be a 998cc Datsun 100a cherry.

Hows about this for sad.

The biggest engined Car ive driven is my Parents MGF at a whopping 1.8 litres. Most powerful would be my Del Sol at 170hp.

Biggest engined vehicle I dont know. I drove a diesel truck for work a year or so ago. I dont know how big the motor was but it had a 2000kg caro capacity thingy so someone can possibbly guess, suppose its more than 1800cc.

Smallest Engine would be 998cc in a Mini 1000
