Title: non fiero... Torque Monsters available now.... WOW Post by: fiero308 on February 20, 2005, 09:47:25 am some idle chatter but interesting nonetheless.....
1. Chrysler: I'm talking about the Cummins diesel; I don't think it is a brand new offering, really, but .... think about this: 5.9 liter; about 362 cu in. so not that big, really. It makes 610 ft lb of torque at 1800 rpm!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o EIGHTEEN HUNDRED. A fast idle!! Burn the tires off your baby without reaching 2000 rpm!?!?!? That is insane.... 2. Neat if you have a spare $13G's US....... (it's on sale!) and direct from GM parts counter: a bolt in big block to go racing. 572 cu in; 720 hp. Over the counter, ready to go. Who said hi perf was dead??? http://www.gmpartsdepot.com/store/product1.aspx?SID=2&Product_ID=458&Category_ID=64 3. If I can find it now.....Triumph (motorcycle - so you have to put the numbers in perspective) new Rocket III; not sure I am in love with the looks, but its 3 cyl in line 2400cc engine puts out 147 ft lbs at only 2500 rpm; again a really fast idle. The engine revs to at least 5750 so it is not a totally low end machine. Again, smoke the tire without thinking about it. A write up gave another rating for it; 64 ft lbs at idle!!!!! IDLE. Belive it or not, that is VERY close to a (current) Harley's PEAK torque. hmmmmm So on a slow sunday AM there is some amusement and brain fodder maybe. Have a great wk everyone! gp Title: Re: non fiero... Torque Monsters available now.... WOW Post by: dguy on February 21, 2005, 01:41:05 pm some idle chatter but interesting nonetheless..... 3.

Redline is a bit low for a sport bike if you ask me, but... :-\ HD's V-ROD is still sexier though. (where's a :drool: smiley when I need one?) Title: Re: non fiero...
