I saw a factory rep do a walkthrough on this engine. It's designed and tuned for the HD fleet and commercial applications. All calibrated to match the transmission. I personally would get the diesel but this is supposed to have similar power characteristics but at a lower cost.

OK it makes more sense to me now. I did not read up on the details for the purpose of this engine.
All I saw was 7.3L 450 hp/510 lbs tq and I was like "That's it?"
What made me laugh today?
Oil change on a Bugatti Veyron costs $21000.
Replacement cost for tires, $38000

WOW!!! Seriously.
I saw a youtube vid of a shop doing an oil change on a Bugatti. Now I know why he was so happy and relaxed through the overly long video...
Yep, pretty crazy huh. Well myself even if i were filthy rich i would not spend my money on such ridiculousness.
My lady texts me this pic "Hey it's your car!"
I had a bit of chuckle then it was "oh hey now come on!". Me lady hates my 991t

When you can afford a $ 1.6 million usd car, that's the price you pay. Ridiculous comes to mind.
Wow, imagine trying to remember all of those switches and then trying to race as well! Carbon Fiber wheel to boot eh Derek?
Awesome @ddgermann .
Does that not take one back to many things from Corvette "Cruising" to, of course, Spring Mountain.
Oh god ... why can't it be Spring yet
Yup ... noticed Carbon Fibre right away ... very educational ... and ...
Who's now looking for that C8 interior sneek peek photo again
and hoping to see the "dispense water to driver button"?

Good thing it won't do over 80kph or the down pressure would have caved in the trunk lid by now... It really does need a fart can over those pipes though to complete the look...
Today, I was visiting a friend who has leukemia. Does he sit around pitying himself?? Not at all. We had a great chat about his old 1940 Willys race car that he is piecing back together. He has the frame pretty well all done, the firewall all welded back in and is working on the floor. His positive attitude picks ME up. Hopefully I do the same for him as we are both car nuts and both have had cars and engines apart and back together. Definitely on the same wave length.
Oh my ... the time you had today sounds awesome without even knowing any of the fine details of conversation. Good for you both
Your feeling for the day is a reminder of many I’ve been blessed by with friendship.
OK, so that wing judging by the angle is adding some what of downforcing at higher speeds correct?
If so wouldn't this make the steering unwantingly lighter at higher speeds
