right near 30mpg to, I can believe that since those cars wieght a few thousand less than our trucks. That things gotta be a blast to drive, he shoulda put a 5spd in it to really be fun, but hats of to him for a cool ride. It sounds wierd though, u expect to see a dodge truck go by but it's a car, lol.

Man that's cool! And drives like a normal car, but loud. I wonder what the fuel mileage is.

I could start to Chevy's if they were all like that. I've been looking for a place to put mine. I've got the 93 I retired when I bought the 04 and have been looking for a suitable location to transplant it. Hmmm.........

looks cool, sounds neat. It reminds me of some of the older British comedies I have seen, where they dub over a different sound effect to an ordinary object. It just makes me chuckle to hear that familiar Cummins rumble coming from a passenger car!

I know! I kept looking for the Dodge. I didn't beleive it till he opened the hood and, sure enough, it's in there. It looks like it must be almost dragging on the ground it's set so low.

I wondered that too -- it looks so tall sitting in my truck, but I have lots of ground clearance and the front axle, so it might be an illusion. I also wondered about other cars I have had -- the old blue flame 6 in my '52 Chevy was plenty tall, but there was lots of room over the head for the air cleaner assembly under the hood, and I had decent clearance on it, too.
