    A part of it is that coiler drivers like to convoy on highways at 75 MPH.
     That's WAY fast for just about every series rig except for one normally
    asperated 2.25L 109 diesel I know of. With their real high gearing
    coilers tend to trail faster too. Give them 4.7 rings & pinions and a 55
    mph highway speed governer and the coiler people would probably fit in
    with series people a lot better.

    Oh and I do NOT want to hear another story about how crappy a coiler rig
    is because it has a little leak around the door or one of the motors
    adjusting the seat is not working.
