Should coincide with the Dodge V-8 Cummins. Another foreshadowing of the pending neo- diesel- muscle cars to come.

700 ft/lb of torque, they can't even keep the trannys alive in the amount of torque their making now... should be fun to hear about a chipped Durmax splitting the tranny in half now.

Check out this nugget of wisdom that was in one of the responses in the link at the top of this post:

"Who cares about the torque? I want to know horsepower. All the torque in the world doesn't do any good if its at 1000 RPM.""

This individual must not tow anything other than his small frontal cranial lobe around.

This is Funny

This quote cracks me up...

"Now for a powerful work truck, I'll take it. 700lbs/ft torque, that is ungodly. It'll definately pull some weight if its frame can handle it."
