Diesel Dodge Dart Concept

RRR, you should go for a ride in a hopped-up diesel truck. Drove a friend's '03 with a mid level 'tune' on the chip and that CTD crew-cab short bed lifted 4x4 on 35's thought it was a sports car. Maneuvering in traffic? No Problem, point and shoot and it got it done. Usually did it so well that brakes were required to keep from rear-ending the guy in front of me. I'm guessing somewhere in the range of 600 HP and 800 ft-lbs. They don't need to rev to make power, my own 12 valve (@ 250HP & 600Ft-Lbs) is redlined at 3000 and I've never, ever gotten it over ~2250. Don't need to.

Since working in an R&D dyno facility developing the little opoc and the tubro for the mid-size opoc, the smell of diesel fuel doesn't even register. But I get where you're coming from on that one.
