And most kids that say this stuff have never owned or driven either. But whatever floats your boat I guess. are you kidding me right now? this is a CAR MAG with PROFESSIONAL drivers performing comparisons. these so called “kids” are the readers, so i guess if you have never owned one then you wont know because EVERYTHING you read is false, again because youve never owned either. i never once said the Ford wasnt a bad ass truck, i just said the new duramax kicked its ass stock to stock. stop being so fucking butthurt, for fanboi. ---

i love the new chevys and dodges. Fords are ass ugly but have the best interior and frame etc. If I had to buy one right now it’d be the Dodge. Fuck you Ford and Chevy for taking away my handshaker. ---

LOL Vot. Stop it. Drift cars don’t see that very high sustained forces, certainly nothing compared to a ‘grip’ racing. Grip\>Drift when it comes to g-force effecting a vehicle. ---

So change it to a grip car then. just as long as it’s stressed under those driving conditions instead of sittin in a mount on a flat floor in a lab. ---

Might do work and get an ecoboost(sho) this spring… Debating between that and a 11/12 Gt, thinking the awd pig might be a bit more practical though. ---
