The Super Bee has lost its hemi.

Postby les45 » Fri Jun 21, 2013 8:40 am

If you have followed my posts for the past year you know that I started my build with a Dodge Durango hemi for a TV. I've been a Dodge fan for 50 years and that and the black and yellow color had a lot to do with naming my weekender the "Super Bee". That also was a big reason that I didn't worry too much about weight. Well after 8 years with the old hemi, I decided I just wanted a new vehicle. Didn't really need another full size gas guzzler and the little crossovers just don't have any towing capacity nowadays. After a lot of research, I settled on the Nissan Xterra (see my signature below) and I must say it is an outstanding vehicle. It has a 260 hp V6 with 280 ftlbs of torque and tows 5,000 lbs. Strangely enough, I can see out of the back glass better and the shorter wheel base makes backing a trailer much easier. Don't worry; even though I lost my hemi, I still have my dual exhausts on the Super Bee. Still thinking about a black stripe down the middle and a spoiler on the hatch.
