after seeing the Turbo Diesel Vette the other day.. why do I have the urge to buy a rolls and fit it with a Diesel engine capable of making enough torque to change the planet's rotation?

Because a Powerstroke or Cummins under the hood of said Rolls is a BRILLIANT idea... and we would all be better off if you were to do it.

They do it across the pond...
One of the comments on that vid gives me dirty thoughts..somebody said something about using the Cummins out of an old Ram pickup. I've seen three or four cars on this very thread that would be great candidates for such a swap.

Stuff a Powerstroke, Cummins or Duramax in it, use the axles brakes etc from a 3/4 ton pickup, use full wheel covers to hide the big brakes and 8 lug wheels, etc. Wouldn't that be an interesting tow vehicle.
