Mother of god.. We need diesel camaros. I don't care what the treehuggers cry about, I'll tape their mouthes to my tailpipe and MAKE EM love it.

Now I know why my buddy's family moved all the way from St. Petersburg RUSSIA to work in the US on DDs. Apparently the Russians swear by them.

wow I would love a durmax camaro either the 2.9 with 250ish HP and 400 lb ft 35 mpg at least. or the 4.5 with 300 hp and 520 lb ft and only 30 mpg.

I kid you not he was so pissed about being left by a semi on the highway he traded his WRX in for a Silverado the next week.

I doubt it had anything done to it but 1000 lb ft will pull on you from time to time.

well, from the sounds of things with the emissions equipment on the new duramax, they probably could breath the air from the tailpipe and be just fine. lol

I dont know...me personally...dont feel safe around drag diesels...do you know how much compression those things have...if you just take some regular old diesel in a junkyard...they usually have atleast 20:1 compression...I've heard stories of people literally blowing the heads off the block and through the hood...especially on some of the older isuzus
