Can anyone confirm the new stainless steel body that the next gen. will have? Will a brushed finish be an option? My dealer, who says he has a buddy in the main office at DC says that 19. 5" wheels will be an option also. He says that his friend is never wrong about this stuff. Should I believe him?

Actually I heard that after they developed the new engine the very next thing they had to turn there attention to was reinforcing the seatbacks as the test drivers were breaking them due to the incredible acceleration

They are actually planning on entering it in the 24hrs at Le'mans. The numbers guys are calling them 10-1 favorites due to the 34. 4 MPG fuel economy, 1. 6 lateral G's on the skid pad, 197 mph top speed and 3. 4 second 0-60 times. They are expecting to run the whole day without changing tires or stopping for fuel.

We don't need to blow or own horn

All I can say is we started with a good thing and don’t have to speculate a year or two in advance on what it will do, we already know. But I’m clad GM finely introduced a diesel engine that didn’t do a belly flop after it came out, I guess the 5th time is a charm, or is that the 6th time! The biggest thing they finely learned was to let someone else design/build it, because they sure couldn’t.

But we really NEED to win Le'mans!

Beat Duramax

I was running up Black Mountain N. C. in my new 2003 Ram automatic pulling gooseneck loaded in at 30k and a Duramax running empty challenged me. Pedal to the metal I beat him by two truck lengths at the end. Oh! Almost forgot, I was pulling a PSD on a chain behind the trailer because he had run out of fuel earlier and we were going to the same destination. And I will never tell how I got my hands on the first 2003 Ram. Oo.
