That would make a pretty slow race car.

A lot more than your house. A big container ship carries something like 6,000-8,000 twenty foot containers.

They have an article on that bad boy in the current issue of Diesel Power magazine. 100,000HP doesn't mean much. It's the 5 MILLION or so lb/ft of torque it puts out that gets stuff moving
