Title: E36 M42 VS Chevy Duramax 2500
Post by: lqbanotxano on April 03, 2010, 06:36:02 PM

Went against my friend's 2001 Duramax diesel Cevy 2500. Tried to pass him from rolling 10MPH to 85MPH dead even.

Are you surprised that you were able to keep up with him?

I don't think you drive an m42 for it's drag strip performance.

The Duramax was silver.
Have you seen what the torque on the Duramax engine is?
