# Behold a 900-Horsepower, Track-Prepped, Military-Issued Humvee

A custom Hummer shop has constructed a colossal racetrack-oriented [Hummer H1 track truck](<https://www.instagram.com/p/BmUINYnFzCB/?taken-by=ianbroekmandesign>).

[Mil-Spec Automotive](<https://www.milspecauto.com>) took a 1987 Humvee, and overhauled almost the entire vehicle to make the monstrosity more capable of handling on-road use at high speed. It now sits seven inches lower than stock on custom, ultra-stiff coilovers with modified suspension geometry, with huge wheels in Pirelli P-Zero performance tires.

Power comes from a modified 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8, which according to [company social media](<https://www.instagram.com/p/BXk8tjClcU1/?taken-by=ianbroekmandesign>) makes 900 horsepower, 1,500 pound-feet of torque, and enough smoke to [get it banned from at least three states](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/10722/following-colorados-lead-maryland-also-bans-rolling-coal>). All this power goes to the ground through a part-time four-wheel-drive system, which is more than helpful for getting that level of power to the ground, good tires or not. Stopping power is courtesy of huge six-piston Wilwood disc brakes, though because they're mounted inboard, ventilation will be limited.

According to *[Autoblog](<https://www.autoblog.com/2018/09/24/mil-spec-hummer-h1-track-ready/#slide-7430246>)*, a company representative told them that despite all the hype (and tire smoke) this Humvee has whipped up, Mil-Spec Automotive has no present plans to build additional track Humvees, as it intends to finish its initial run of 12 road-going off-roaders before planning future products.

This does not mean that your dreams of absurdly powerful pickups can't be a reality, though. There's a [750-horsepower Ford F-150 Warrior Edition](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/23722/richard-petty-is-auctioning-a-750-hp-ford-f-150-warrior-edition-for-disabled-veterans>), normally available only to members of the U.S. armed forces, coming up for auction soon. If you work a job where the heavy-duty vehicles are less glamorous such as trucking, fear not because there are [plenty of opportunities for fun even in the commercial driving world](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/19506/watch-this-delivery-truck-go-drifting-in-the-snow>).
