    To leverage the opportunities afforded by branding synergy, I would expect to see an 18 wheel V-Rod fairly soon.

    The Lone Star is an awesome truck in person, and I drove one recently at an open house. It was Black and Chrome, and had the Eaton Ultra Shift, which is an electronic Auto Shifting 13 Speed Manual. It actually made me look like I knew how to drive a Giant Freakin Truck....


    Anyway, it seems that all the big guys are introducing their own Big Chrome Limited Edition Trucks:

    Tha Mack Titan:



    The Freightliner Coronado:



    The Freightliner Cascadia:



    The International Pro Star:



    The Volvo VT Series:

    Love the truck. It could use about 93% fewer H-D badges though. You need a bar and shield on the shifter? Really?

    The truck looks really good. The headlights make it look even better. However, most truck drivers these days have no money to spend on a brand new truck, much less a chromed out special edition.

    In reply to Hyper Power International Dyno Claims First Accurate Measurement Of Driveline Losses With Nissan GT-R
    But if the car is in neutral, the transmission isn't spinning. So this device just measures the drag of the driveshafts and wheels spinning. PLUS... aren't driveline losses really just because of the rotational inertia of the parts of the transmission? I think that the act of accelerating the spinning parts in the transmission is what takes all the power. Otherwise the transmission would get really, really, incredibly hot. There isn't that much friction in there...


    Color me unimpressed.

    @nick2ny: It does get hot. That's why you have transmission oil coolers.

    @nick2ny: Depending on the transmission, but it's gears are still spinning to some extent. While your driving gear is out, the rest of the trans still rolls with the drive shafts. This is why on an automatic car that if you tow it and the drive wheels are spinning, you must disconnect the drive shaft. Even in N, the trans gears are spinning. Of course, with the enigne off, there's nothing to pump the trans fluid and that burns up trannies while towing.

    I like the name: Hyper Power International.


    Makes me think I can harness the energy from my children and sell it somehow. Is that tantamount to child labor? They're just burning it off anyway!
