The 2009 diesel Vette was an april fools joke, but the idea of a modern diesel is facinating. Think about this: Pimp my Ride did a 1965 Chevy Impala. It was a wreck. When they did it, they had CA state bio-fuel support. The car was powered by a 6.5 litre Duramax turbo Diesel, an Allison 4spd OD automatic and some minor boost and fuel delivery mods. The end result? over 800 hp and 1000 lb-ft of torque. The car is faster than a Lambo in the 1/4 mile and it still gets 24mpg, highway. The strength of a diesel is torque and economy. Check out this race car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChGGWY_CwO0 It's call the Audi R10 and it's diesel powered. And is so quiet, that during the race, you cannot hear it over the other race cars, including the Corvette C6.R. |
