Probably part of why our transmissions usually last longer than the American cars. I'd bet the low HP of our diesels helps as well. I've got a 6.2L Diesel Suburban with 260k on the clock and the trans is flawless. Speaking of No Power! Now that's a slow ride! I'd bet it'll beat a 240 in the 1/4 mile but not by a long-shot!

i dont think its the HP i would be worried about, weve got more torque than most v8's.
