I have seen this thing multiple times before. it has a huge engine in it ( no clue of what size, probly in the 500 cubic inches atleast.) has a huge blower on it and has a tubbed out rear end. the engine is in the full rear of the car. and the driver basically sits right in front of the engine. there is a hole cut out for the driver to see. the driver is a older gentle man in the ranges of late sixties to early seventies. what else ya want to know?

not any. the front wheels down would add friction and resistance.

most school busses made nowadays have engines in the rear

theyre turbcharged deisel I6's.

thats probably the stock engine with a shot of nitrous and all the interior stripped out. those things put out a ****load of power when they are actually in the powerband. effective powerband on most school busses is probably between 3 and 4.5k but because of safety laws and regulations bus drivers can only take it up to 2.5k and 55mph max. in fact in michigan there are rev limiters and speed limiters built into the ECU that can only be changed by physically modifying the computer or installing a different one.
