http://www.internationaldelivers.com/site_layout/severe/cxt.asp I know it is so wrong. But damn. I want one. But not with the whimpy engine they provide. I want a full blown 500HP turbo diesel big rig engine in that puppy. Paul, You know you want one. Only around $100 large. Be the first. You da man. You know one of the sick puppies here will do it. Who will be the first? Aaron? Who? |

I was reading about that truck... It was like 500 HP, and close to 1000 foot pounds of torque. Do the math on peak RPM... that's like 2500 RPM redline |

The Cheech & Chong movie comes to mind with one of them driving around in a big tractor rig towing a very small utility trailer. Oh well. Wonder that the fuel economy is like on them. |

Here's my baby... That's actually a DT570, a stroked version of the 466. The cooler is shorter on the 466, depending on rating. (Message edited by uwgriz on December 16, 2004) |

Um, yes please... When I retire, I'll buy one to tow my fifth wheel, as Buellidan said... |

The power it comes with standard is the DT-466. 220 h.p. 540 lbs. of torque. though many power options are available. Way cool, way big , way out of my price range. |

Put a 600 HP Cat C16 in it and then you'd be talkin' sumpin'. |

I think it is supposed to make 9 mpg. The aerodynamics aren't quite up to Bonneville slip streamer standards. Tony (Spiderman), You have a good point. I think you can get a brand new Peterbuilt 357 with 550HP Cat C13 engine for right around $100K. Would still need to fab up some kind of cool looking bed though. |

And it would only be a two seater. |
