I am too psyched to hear how the Centurion does in the GGP. I have no budget to travel or time off from work, or I would be sorely tempted to make the trek. It looks like a blast.
Jerry, I've been reading about you for years - I think before I even joined Ecomodder. It seems only fitting to me that it would be someone like you that points up just how silly some of the major manufacturer's "achievements" are in the face of a little determined tinkering.
If you push past 250 again, I think we should all invest heavily in building brand-new Centurions with little diesels under the hood. I can imagine a weekly fill-up to the tune of three gallons!

Thanks elhigh. Since joining this forum I've seen alot of great ideas thrown around and some make it to the streets. There's a ton of knowledge here and if everyone could actually get together and blend it all into one grande build we might have something that would really rock the current automotive roots!
