Cop the pre launch rev up, will ya? If I was the starter I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that filthy black sh.t. All that noise & smoke and it was as fast as a junior dragster with a lawn mower engine in it :)

the_dawggie - 27 Feb 2008 09:39 GMT > <http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=3e6Z_cLDe7k> Love it :-)
I've been known to use a similar launch method in the 'lux. Get the turbo spun up with a little load on the engine then let it rip. Yeah mine does make a bit of smoke too.
Black smoke is good, indicates that is about as much power you can get from the engine.

Nope, need to minimise the quantity of moving parts. I think the largest ship engines in the world are inline 6 to 14 cylinders, and of course they are diesel :-)

When I was in the USA, saw a Cummins Dodge towing something the size of a house up a hill the rental Camry I was driving could not keep up with.

The little Hummer only had the Cummins 4BT which doesn't have any more than my 'lux, but it broke the drive shaft on the Ford F250. Love it :-)

Also think there might be an element of driver skill not to lose traction.

and yes driver skill is also involved but both have the potential to pull similar weights

I'm not a fan of the Viper by a long shot, but I'll bet any money you like if you lined up 100 people and showed them that clip they'd prefer to have the Viper rather than the ute.
You'd be the 100th person in line obviously.

I'm seriously considering getting a Dodge Ram Cummins powered 4x4, 2500 single cab.
Yep them and my 'lux are a little loud though.

The f.cking sh.t should be banned :) I love my diesel because the clunky old agricultural thing simply never dies and there's not a computer in sight. It functions because mechanically it has no choice.
However if I were back in the suburbs I'd definitely have something LPG powered. And more than likely have the correct number of cylinders too.
