ya know, I was just thinkin, how badass would that be? an engine where you can shut cylinders down at random to conserve fuel, and then all out juice with the flick of a switch. hmm...

i'm not talking about the hemi tech shyt, i'm talkin, any cylinder, pick one, shut it off. One not controlled by the ECU, one that can be selected in the cab.

I'm sayin a toggle switch for each cylinder, when you wanna drive across the country on a tank or two, kill 5 cylinders and cruise on 3.

Not a bad idea. Don't know if it's difficult or practical. But once you've hit cruising speed, it doesn't take much to keep it going, especially in the flatter portions of our highway system.

So what do yall think about that new Juke? i've been lookin pretty hard at that thing, and I dont hate it. AWD and Turbo'd, and can be had for 20k, damn cool grocery getter if you ask me.

Direct Injected Turbo, imagine with a boost controller... this thing could make 300whp easy.
