nevermind just looked it up. apparently powered by a vauxhaul 5.0l, making 500hp....

and the older keaton batmobile (trans am looking one) was built on an impala chassis powerd by a zz3 chevy 350.

It's called the Tumbler and I thought it did have a LS1 in it.

i know its the tumbler. and yeah it has hoosiers up front, and those are super swamper tires used on HMMWVS, pretty sure they are made by interco, but they are the old style radials.

second best batmobile:

still cant find a straight answer about what motors they actually use. keep seeing 350 this, 5.7 that.

Not an LS1, but still a Gen3 motor. Vauxhall = GM

i forget but they are not authorized for military use, but a bunch of trucks were shipped out with those tires. if i had to guess, a unit ordered trucks, they built the trucks with leftover **** and said fug it.

It was to my understanding that it was powerd by a LS1 engine.

And Vaux doesnt make any V8's. The last one to make a 5.0 engine outside of GM NA was Holden, but I dont think that they shared it with anyone.
