GP-40, GP-40 -2... Simple to maintain, strong,fast and ultra reliable. However I would not want to buy a turbo when it fails, blowers are about $20,000.00 chaeper

GP-40, the SD's little brother, and another dependable (and fast) workhorse - the muscle car of it's day.

SD40-2

The Dependable Workhorse, too bad they are getting harder and harder to find out on the mainlines.
