Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I wanted it to have a towing capacity enough to tow a Airbus A380, guess I am not going to buy a Touareg any more)

That's certainly nothing a Duramax couldn't do with complete ease.

It looks impressive, then you recall hearing about a man pulling a locomotive with his own 2 feet.

Wonder what my COE would pull... 180 TRQ, 6.04 first gear, 8.11 rear axle; who's got the formula??

I knew that was coming... I'm sure your flathead

powered COE could rip a house off it's foundation

with that kind of gearing! Holy hell that's cool.

Dog damnit Balthazar ever since I visited you last

Nov. and saw your COE in person you've got me

into COEs BIG TIME! About two weeks ago I was

banging on the door to a farmhouse asking if the

1941? Chevrolet COE steakbed in their gravel

driveway was for sale. Some Asian lady told me

politely that I was barking up the wrong tree and

that it was a 1937 which it so was NOT. I'lll post

some photos soon.

Well, starting the weight is the hard part, it would be pretty rough on a standard or I should say clutch. I have a bit of pulling experience and thats alot of weight rather its on level, hard ground or not, starting it is hard. I imagine it would stress my tractor pretty good for the first 10 ft or so.

Regardless

The TDI V10 or any VW/Audi TDI diesels are awsome engineering achievements. I may be interested in a Diesel VW again, last one worked good for 260,000 miles.

These cars

make me weak in the knees, good 'ol Ex.
