It does sound better and faster on a 35foot RTS than an 40 footer, I grew up on Both 35/40 foot RTS with this engine at Lansing, Michigan and Gary/Hammond, Indiana.
Man I swear this sounds just like MARTA 1978 Grumman Flxibles plus the Grummans that were in Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Good old memories I tell you :-D
Hmmm love this bus but that's not an 8V71 in there. It's a 6V92 repower. All 8V71 have heavy deep gurbles to their sound. And you will be very hard pressed to find an RTS with an original 8V in it.
Jorge Figueroa yup. All NYC MTA RTSs that are left are running Series50 engines. Haven’t seen one with an 8V71 in a long time. The 6Vs were quite common though
Damn!!!that 8V71 sure sounds good especially on a 35footer

Not 6v92, maybe you refer a 8V92 engine prototype, never came, but fits a repowered unit. The 1984 Flxible's offers the 8V92 prototype unit
oh yeah, I stand corrected!!!! The exhaust plumbing and whinny tranny really covers the throattyness of the 8V71!! Kudos
What ever happened to these? You don't see them anymore. I see all the other old ones still pushing along but I don't see these ever. Hmm
Pure awesome!!
This unit also fits the Detroit 6v71, 6v92 and the Series 50 engine perfectly for repowering purposes.

@@kesando84 except the demo 200 in 1979 is an 8v71 RTS 03
Here is a true DD8V71 listen to the diference Metro Transit Video: 1978 General Motors RTS-II #3336 (RTS-03)
I could not believe I was under a damn bus
DummyChannel414 well you were under a damn bus!! 😂
I must have done 100 break jobs on these buses. Turbo X 6 cyl. They are my favorite.
Capped slopeback and rear bumper is a replacement
They called RTS 04 Kit
How much did you pay for it?
where do you get parts for that thing ? radius rods and shit like that ?
1:11 Behind that panel, is the transmission.
Hmmm! Nice!
Do you still have the bus? Used to drive that in the early 2000s.
This bus is or not the 35ft Ex Bee Line System, looks like
Nice. Does the Bee Line still sell their buses?
