"Does anyone realize how large an SUV would have been required to carry 6 full-grown brontosaurs? I have estimated the size of the engine at 3000 cubic inches with 5000 horsepower - and that does not even count the turbos. Typical milage was .10 per gallon and they did not even have catalytic converters."

This baby could haul them. It has 3,400 horsepower & gets 0.3 mpg. Allowing for a longer unit for comfortable seating, and more power for higher speeds (the Cat can go 40 mph), your estimates are probably pretty close.
