Let's see Macoroni put a 3.0 VM Motori thru some grueling testing for all to see!
uhm? VM Motori has been building their engines for a lot longer then yer "ECO BUST", in fact, VM Motori has been supplying Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, GM, Rover and FORD for years. Take yer "blinders" off, not everything revolves around North America car/truck users.
I think people who wanna argue which truck is king Turd of Poop Island, ought to just buy a horse...but then there's the boarding, vet bills and "take for ever to get anywhere" issues. Wonder how long it would take fer dat horsey to pull a 15,000+# 5'er up a 8% grade? Poor thing would prob drop dead after a few feet!? Then you'd have not just the ECO terrorists but PETA on yer arse!!
