[quote="Short Hand":816bf]+ let the japenses build a muscle v8 of their own, it would eat the living shit out of anything. THey just haven't done it yet. In japan their is a unwritten rule between the major auto makers, no car built with more then 276 HP stock, although it is done with a few. All im saying is if the japenese ever built muscle, it would own the lving shit out of every AMerican muscle car out.[/quote:816bf]

Look at the V8 in Jap trucks. They are small, high revving low torque low horsepower engines. exactly what you dont want for a truck that youre going to tow with. Do you know why chevy still uses OHV engines in their trucks and faster cars? Because theyve been kicking ass since the 50's.

Yenk 427 Camaro, LS6 Chevelle 454, Dodge hemi>cavalier with a big wing and a cold air intake, honda with 20,000 in entertainment

Sure they get arond 8 mpg, but they look damn good doing it
