9.3. The TANK exhaust systems all feature a new
aluminized finish. This finish resists corrosion
better than the heat paint that is more commonly
used. It also dissipates heat more effectively,
producing noticeable improvements on chassis
dynamometers. See Figure 9.3.
9.4. Some features of the 72” deck have been
extended throughout the TANK model range.
Looking at the 60” model as an example, these
features include:
