You got me there.. I have a tendancy to live in the old school of being a mechanic back in the 80's. I also just remembered that 6 months ago if anyone would have told me I'd be driving a Camaro now, I would have said they were nuts. My wife even tried to get me to buy one and it was still.. no.

So just so I don't have to eat my words later.. I'll never say never!

1) The 4.5L DuraMax IS "shelved"...but NO bullet in the head...just yet...

2) It's my understanding that the same European-based company that makes the ECM of the LLT V6 (that, so far, has NOT been cracked) is seeking "assistance" in doing a "one-off" diesel Camaro for "possible production consideration"...

3) The HRM Drag Week Mustang does NOT run 9s AND get 30-some mpg AT THE SAME TIME...depends on the tune as to which happens, and when...

I'm guessing this is kinda what your hoping for at the track... Which is seriously cool!

Now this is a diesel I would own!

Why stop at 4.5? Why not drop this baby in.

yeah, its not fully made to make a buttload of power (even tho it does), just mainly to help with the high altitudes. 2 atmospheric turbos pumping into a single compound turbo with the exhaust routed to the single then to the twins.

Sometime that battery is going to go out. These aren't triple A durcels were talkin here folks lol.

I teach motors and generators for a living... and this is precisely the point I make in class. If a car has batteries, it's imprint on the environment is not an imprint... it's a nuclear detonation.

Over the life of a vehicle, a Hummer IS much friendlier on the environment than any car with batteries... atm.

Now if they can only get the supercapacitors to stop blowing up, it'd be a different ball game.
