Why?? Ford has S/C - FI... they wont develope something else when they can just slap a blower on and call it quits... *cough* terminator *cough*

 

[sm=funnypostabove.gif] that was great S8. True, I just meant it would be intersting. Plus it is a diesel, hence they practically last forever.

 

You do realize that those 5.9L weight close to 1000lbs and redline at something crazy low like 3500 or 4000rpm. Not exactly ideal for a sports car.

Lets just say it can't be done.

 

Seriously? [:-]
Well, guess thats true for a vehicle that was designed for towing crap, not racing.
2800 lbs vs. 6000+ lbs.
Aerodynamic vs. Box
Naturally Aspirated vs. Blown
4.6l vs. 5.9l

This will be a fun race[8D]

 

The new Dodge Rams have 6.7L diesels.

 

It's a 1997

 

By the time the race was over I couldn't see him in my mirrors.........must have been a looong race. My DD is a 1500Hemiand it isn'tall that slow.

 

I know, I don't know why I posted that it just came to my mind.

 

Yeah, it was a 2007 5.7l 1500 Hemi, and it didn't stand up at all. Keep in mind the thing was basically new(4000 miles), engine wasn't even broken in.
I hear that they can be pretty mean though.

 

It's true diesel trucks will redline a lot lower, but thats because they don't have to rev any higher. Them shifting at 3,500 rpms is like you shifting at 6k, thats where the power is.
