Holy Cow!
Most powerful street pickup (Ute) in Australia.
At the Holden vs Ford show this weekend (just gone), the Holden (GM) VZ Commodore Ute made 1899rwhp, which is a new world record. The car has a 383 stroker V8 (based on the old Holden 5.0L block) with twin turbos, custom cam and manifold using 40psi and C16 fuel. Apparently they backed off before the redline because the engine was leaning out due to the fact it was not tuned properly (they only put the engine together the day before the event), so it only revved to 6500rpm, and the Dyno graph indicates it will keep going.
The Dyno sheet below was taken after the second run, the third run was 1898.9rwhp (rear wheel horse power)
