10 Cars That Sank Detroit

Ron...that was the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the second generation of the Audi diesel race vehicle (R15), which won in its debut. The R10 diesel has been dominate for the past several years.

Joe...me thinks you're right, but I don't know if anything's changed.

Jamo,

Thanks for the correction. I watched both of those races on TV and just got mixed up which one they won. I thought they did very well in both races and was impressed with their speed and torque. And from what a couple of people told me that went to the Sebring race, they don't have hardly any smell when in the pits. So why can't we have regular passenger cars with that kind of diesel engine as it seems to burn very clean?
