    Holly sh*t I always knew it was possible but didn’t think anyone would be that insane! Just imagine the weight over the front axel! The V8s have a nose-dive issue, why do you think BM stuck with the straight 6 in the M.

    Id like to see some shots of the bay though!

    The weight of the 4.0 engine is approx the same as the 3.5 so I am not sure of what Nose Diving problem in the v-8 you guys are referring to? I get the same or better MPG than most 3.5 guys do as well - JT

    It's because the 540 is slowing down from much greater speeds due to the fantastic acceleration of the V-8....oh yeah, the bigger brakes too...
