    I've seen the C18 in use with off-road quarry trucks. I've heard of them being fitted into heavy haulers, but don't personally know of any which have had this done. But it is available to the public.
    Road construction company I worked for had one of the old M911s. Had that two stroke Detroit... 8V72, I believe? Don't quote me on that. Thing was a clatterbox, but it did what it was supposed to.

    The Silver-92's we had were rated anywhere from 430 hp to 475 hp. Most of our 911's ran 48-50 mph. That was a long, hot, rough ride, in July and August, from Ft. Polk to Ft. Hood and back.
