Since many medium-duty, and nearly every heavy-duty truck, feature air brakes and air-driven servo-assisted clutch, that would be easy to make this pneumatic valvetrain commercially available. And also the air-starters often fitted to old 2-cycle Detroit Diesels...
This is not the first case of a car nameplate rising controversies, and probably won't be the last. Do you remember the Mitsubishi Montero, which many overseas versions had a nameplate that means "wanker" in Spanish?
I'd like to get an Impala SS from the 60's anyways :cheers:
As a Jewish I understand the reason for this name be considered inappropriate in Israel. But if it ever be offered back there it's probably gonna have another name, such as Lumina, which is still used in other Middle East countries and in South Africa.
I'd still rather want it to come with the Cummins ISB4.5 due to parts interchangeability with the ISB6.7 already fitted in the heavier Ram trucks, or the ISF3.8, which in spite of having only 160hp at 2600 RPM, has 450lb.ft. at 1300-1700 RPM. Anyway, seems like they went with this 3.0L V6 engine...
That's a reason why I always prefer dirt-bikes, due to their suspension more suitable to overcome obstacles on the road.
A 600lbs. bike falling over a leg would probably smash it :ohnoes:
I would even consider to do it only if I were really sure the feds wouldn't hunt me down for deleting the EGR, DPF and SCR. Otherwise, I'd not get rid of a pre-emissions Diesel :cheers:
