If you don’t know much about RipSaw (pic above), it’s basically an untamed beast-like supercharged, all terrain tank. The name RipSaw really isn’t a joke, you would never want to stand in the way of something which can easily rip through fields, snow, water, mud, you name it! RipSaw?s 650hp engine can drive it from 0-50 in 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 80 mph, over just about any possible terrain.
