EXTREEEMEEEEE car even extremer motor

This is an example of a sick car. I personally love pretty much everything about the car, can't wait to see the final output numbers.

still not worth the $(whatever the price tag is) to smell like a school bus

I know diesels are cleaner now and all that but maintenance would be quite expensive and you have to go to the truck stop side of the gas station to fill up- no thanks

Yeah, redline at 4k is kinda wack, but 738 lb/ft of torque at like 500 rpms is pretty sweet! I actually like the seats, almost looks designerish.

Sick car either way!
