Lift the shell off the full tube frame chassis to reveal a 12:1 compression ratio 5.7L V8 Tunda engine (tranny, rear axle, and electronics) paired to a TRD supercharger and nitrous oxide system making 850hp. Suspension is a set of front struts and a four link live rear axle which keeps the axle in place under hard acceleration. Some Goodyear DOT 335/30/18 drag tires on the rear propel this car from stoplight to quarter mile in 9.8 seconds.
