@Fat Tire: Buy a used '05 Tundra and an aftermarket prerunner suspension and you'll likely come out ahead.

@GV_Goat: Come very close or exceed using significantly more displacement. It's easy to make more power when you're burning more fuel. And that IS about engineering prowess and capability.
@GV_Goat: Bring yours to an F1 race. I'd like to see how a pushrod would do there.
@Parramore: You can multiply the torque with your gear ratio selection. It's not an issue of the motor not making enough torque, it's an issue of your transmission not having enough gears. And frankly, a 6-speed with well chosen ratios behind this motor would be a better choice than an LS3 or a mod motor, at least…
@TexanIdiot25- needs moar horse powah: All other things being equal, a DOHC 4-valve engine will always breathe better and rev higher, and with less undesirable valvetrain dynamics.
@rocor: Because they've hammered enough on an inferior technology that now it's semi-competitive.
@C4_4life: There's plenty of Audi performance aftermarket for that.
Being King of the Pushrod V8s is like being the smartest kid riding on the short bus.
@Syrax: Hey, the R35 is good too. And it's faster than the R33.
@Elhigh: Shit, if a blisteringly-fast Viper is your thing, for $500k you could've had a 1200hp Viper with full-on ACR bodywork and a LeMans-spec suspension.
@pauljones: I thought Nissan had redone the launch control feature such that it shouldn't result in broken transmissions anymore. And this doesn't say anything about warranties either.
@Peugeot 504 - the Car for Nigeria: I guess if my car's gonna be a fat bastard anyways, I'd rather have a BMW than a Dodge.
@Mad_Science: If I'm going off-roading, I'd want all those features. If I'm driving on the street, I don't want any of that, I want a good-handling and fast car.
@protohiro: Well, I don't want an SUV at all. But if I had to drive one, I'd rather it drive like a sports car than like a Ford Explorer.
@Number_Six: Look at it this way, a 4-door SUV BMW M product only weighs a few hundred more pounds than a Dodge Challenger.
@Officer BLW, Royal Canadian Grammar Polis.: I don't know, I feel like an F150 H-D edition is everything wrong with the automotive industry. While this is pointless, at least it's fast and handles well.
@BigHarv: Hey, I'm not saying I wouldn't like it to weigh less, but it's pretty comparable in weight to other similarly sized SUV's, and it's a hell of a lot faster and better handling.
@Elhigh: Hey, it's just a few hundred more pounds than a Challenger.
@Mad_Science: I fear you may be right, and it saddens me. If I were spending the cash-money on a tuner car like this, one of the first things I'd do is get a really stout cage put in. In addition to the safety benefits, a cage helps a lot with chassis rigidity, and having a more rigid platform for the suspension to…
@Mad_Science: Speaking of vaporware, whatever happened with that Lotus-looking concept car that Hennessey claimed to be building.
