'78 300D, OM617.912: 4spd manual, TB03 at 10PSI, 26*BTDC, DV's turned, HVAC, emissions system removed, e-fan, short ram, 3" downpipe to straight exhaust, W126 Bendix brakes, MR2 Spyder seats. 2890lbs
Got to drive my friend's Freightliner FL70, "Tiny". Different than most other things i've driven, but definately fun. This one's got the Cummins and Eaton 9-speed, no automatic BS here. Monster torque, drags around a fusion 40' toyhauler all day. It was strange having that much power that low and reving over 2k is useless. I had the clutch down pat, but down shifting with no syncros is a trip. Feels like driving my '85 chevy pickup 4spd without using the clutch.
