World's Fastest School Bus — Westen Champlin's Redneck Science at Full Send

Vehicular FeatsMost creative vehicle mod

Westen Champlin — the Kansas-based YouTuber who already put a Cummins diesel in a Mustang — decided his next project needed to be bigger. Literally. He took a full-size American school bus and turned it into the world's fastest school bus, because apparently 'Redneck Science' has no speed limit and no upper bound on vehicle size. The build, documented for his 5.12 million subscribers, features the kind of engineering that makes professional mechanics wince and backyard builders cheer: massive power upgrades, structural reinforcements to keep the thing from folding in half at speed, and the ever-present Westen Champlin attitude of 'let's just see what happens.' The video pulled nearly 4 million views, proving that the only thing the internet loves more than a fast car is a fast thing that has absolutely no business being fast. A school bus doing triple digits is not transportation. It's a statement.

Taking a full-size school bus — the most universally recognized slow vehicle in America — and making it the fastest one on earth is peak Redneck Science. Nearly 4 million people watched Westen Champlin prove that speed has no vehicle type requirement.
