Since I dont have a sports car anymore, and my wife made me agree to no more cars for a while since I got the Nordic, I will be running my wife's Hyundai Sonata at the strip Wink

6-speed paddle shifter 2.5L 4 banger, should be good for a 16 or so hahaha.

I wish America would run more diesels. May bring the price of the stuff down a bit if we had more vehicles to use it. At least its my dream haha.

It would be nice for more to market them, they are great, for work and play really. I wont be surprised if the Performance boat world moves over that way someday too.

I really doubt it, the RPM you get out of a diesel is just too narrow. You won't see it for the same reason you don't see performance cars with diesels.

Nathan, apparently that new V6 turbo pulls like a diesel!

i think i did the quote right. i will let you drive my TDI with upgraded turbo, bigger injectors, and tuning my 1.9 liter puts out about 150hp!
nathan VW has a full size truck out there with the diesel motor in it, i saw one in dallas it had the branding from there over seas models. i posted about it on the tdi forum (allot of euro guys on there) and no one knows so i may have seen one that is in development. the other thing there working on and i think its ready to come out is a diesel hybrid. problem is that when they get crazy cool with stuff they get crazy expensive i mean cmon its a VW!

Oh, no doubt the RPM range is very limited in a diesel, but if you were to hook it up to something along the lines of a 2 speed tranny and rock a really tall gear ratio in the outdrive, you would be able to utilize the RPM band of a diesel. Marine engines are pulled back a lot in the RPM department compared to their automotive counterparts, a 502 with a 5100rpm limiter and a 1.5 OD vs a Diesel with a 3500rpm limiter and a 1.25 OD should churn about the same if my brain is serving me correctly (to early for actual math this morning). Boating is all about Torque really, and nothing beats a diesel in the TQ department
