And as for the Hemi comment, the CRD is quicker off the line and over a quarter mile is only half a car length behind the Hemi.
the CRD is NOT quicker off the line........i've lost count of the number of diesel WH's i have left behind me..... the chipped diesels go very well against the petrol but they still lose to the 5.7 ..not by a hell ofa lot to be honest but a win is a win..my only whinge about the 5.7 is fuel....i get about 13.5 l/100 highway at legal speeds and about 16.3l/100 town in the WH if i drive carefully.....and after 3 years am still addicted to the sound
