Default Get used to getting spanked

With all the new cars that are turning diesel, we going to losing more and more races.

Audi Q7 coming in 2008 is a SUV with a 6.0 12 cylinder thats makes 500 hp and 738 lb-ft, and I bet it weights a lot less than our sweet trucks.

Can you see it chipped up, damm I never wanted a Audi before this, hell I haven't evenwanted a car in a long time, but if I hit the lotto I would have one or two.

After more research the above was the concept model whats going to be out there still might get us stock

The new Audi Q7 4.2 TDI is the most powerful diesel engine the brand has to offer. The 4.2-liter capacity of the V8, which already powers the A8, generates an output of 326 bhp and 561 ft.-lbs. of torque at engine speeds between 1,800 to 2,500 rpm. The most powerful SUV on the market has the drivability of a sports car. The Audi Q7 accelerates from standstill to 62 mph in 6.4 seconds and has a top speed of 145 mph. These figures are also the new best marks in its segment.

I don't beef my truck up to be fast. I beef it up to yank the axles off anything I hook my chain to.

I don't give diesel cars a second look.

Only 10k Drew? I was grossing 26k Friday morning coming from the farmers market I swear the 04 CTD held 70mph on the hills coming from Columbia SC. I even passed a 6.4 ford that was in the slow lane. Bet he wished he had a Cummins.......We could drag a dozen Audis sideways down the road and look kewl doing it!!!!

10K would be just to compete with the ford 150

BTW, I also passed one of them new 6.4's today. . .only pulling a 3 car trailer and two ford escorts. . .he was doing about 55mph while a 3500 pulling a 50 foot enclosed race car trailer was hot on my *** doin 70.
