I've driven several German diesel luxury cars and those things really haul in the 0-60.... I love diesels.

The mustang in the drag week had 800rwhp, ran a 9 sec 1/4, gets 38 mpg hwy, and is the guys daily driver!!!

I remember reading a while back that the 4.5l duramax made 300/450 stock. It was also rumored to fit in place of the ls motor. Why wouldnt gm throw this in a camaro?

Chevy motor in a ford....guess they wanted to go fast too!!!!!

Turbo diesels are insane when modded

If it were offered I would buy one.

Reminds me of the only "Pimp My Ride" episode I ever watched, the Duramax/Impala creation.

It outran a Lambo heads up in the quarter, and got good mileage. It was a beast!!

In short, I'd buy it with those kind of numbers!!

Wasn't there a new exhaust system that has added 5K or so to price of Deisels due to emissions? Really other than that, no reason to not consider a Camaro with one. Make it an engine option, if people buy them you just helped with your Cafe!

Yes, the new 6.7L CTD in the Ram is a biatch to mod because of the emissions system.
