Because the M5 is not heavy enough.

I am not sure what I think about this...

An M SUV is one of the endsigns forecast in the book of revelations. Now watch for chariots of fire, ethnic minority US presidents, GM being worth about 1/35 as much as Intel, and other harbingers of the approaching apocalypse. The worthy shall be lifted up into e30 m3s or lotus exiges according to their preferences and then transported to that eternal trackday in the sky. (Cheerful S,O.s available in the evening.) The unworthy will spend eternity driving back and forth across montreal in chrysler K cars with no heat, leaky exhaust manifolds, and the backseat driver from hell at rush hour.

Maybe GM is working on a ZR1 Tahoe?

the motor will bolt in... actually GM is going to sell the 6.2L supercharged engine in a few weeks through GM Performance as a crate motor.

Gregster,


If you provide enough boost for your Neon 4 banger, I am sure you would be able to outmuscle the ZR1 monster!

Yeah but I don't want to spend that much money. Even now I really don't want to spend the money but kinda have no choice.

One of our vice president's husband runs a performance shop and they have customer with something like that. I saw him rev the engine once and then I couldn't see him for a while behind the black smoke.
It sounded like a Peterbuilt. And it did 11s or something silly like that.

Yep 11s is very doable. Propane injection is a must. I think stock boost on a powerstroke is 40psi. Something high like that. I've seen a truck once with a 100psi boost gauge... it was hitting around 70psi on a "mild tune"

The aftermarket stuff you can get for diesel trucks is endless. Although the only real "truck" engine is the cummins I6 in the Dodge trucks. However any diesel from the big 3 will move a house off it's foundation.
