C5 diesel
anyone ever seen this done? or know anyone that has?
what would have to be involved in order to have this done?
saw a video on youtube of this, it was in a white C5
sounded pretty sick, kinda got me thinking

I think it would be a sweet project doing a Duramax in a C5. I bet you could get 50mpg + out of it. It would be awesome pointing your nose at Prius as you drive by them and have a save the environment sticker on your car.

Two sides of the coin.
1. That's what they told Audi before they won 3 consecutive 24 hours of Le Mans.
2. It would be insanely expensive to get a diesel in a C5 and have it perform decently.

At the 24 Hours of Le Mans Dindo Capello, Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Audi Sport Team Joest recorded the third consecutive Le Mans victory for the Audi R10 TDI.

Audi's V-12 would fit in the Cr with some mods.
The new one coming to the states is 500 bhp with 783 lbs of torque.
0 to 62 mph is 4.2 secs, but cruise is unreal.
At 110 it gets 32 mpg according to specs.

Never heard of that swap being done in a C5.
