That's because the M1 uses a gas turbine instead of the piston diesel that is made in our factory in Muskegon Michigan.
The gubmint was sold a bill of goods and fell for the BS that the GE turbine was better than the Continental piston engine.

Diesels have a lot more power now than they used to back in the 1970s.

I thought the M1 used the Honeywell AGT1500.

Actually the turbine engine was from Lycoming, and is now Honeywell.
