The competition

I have been hearing this Ch**y ad on the radio where they state that their truck (I think they were talking about a light pickup with a crew cab or something like that) has more power than the competition. Funny thing is when they mention the competition by name, it's only Dodge and Toyota. They must be talking about competition in the minor league only. But if you are going to brag about beating the competition, surely you should put your MAJOR competitor at the top of the list.


INLINE SIX POWER!
300 Cubic Inches of Low RPM Truck Torque! And twin-I-beams too!

The competition

Reminds me of when Toyota came out with their truck. Stating it can pull or out accelerate ford chevy or dodge but in the fine print it says when equipped with...all the brands smaller motors. So the 4.7L toyota will beat the 4.6L ford but, the toyota is a lot smaller and lighter.

Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Sunroof, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.


Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Superduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Top speed is 65mph, Go Baby Go!
