    I testdrove a new 08 it was smooth like a car but I wasn't very impressed I don't think the sticker out ways performance. Honestly maybe witha few upgrades it would be more impressive I'm happy with my almost payed off 99. I think I'll put a few more mods on mine instead of getting another car payment.

    They are definantly not the type of twins that most of us are awe inspired by. They are simply smog "twins."

    I drove a 4wd f450 w/ 4.88's and it scooted pretty good, just could not be happy with the fuel economy spinning the engine at 2600 rpm on the highway.

    Yeah I liked the take off power but the fuel mileage was unimpressive.
