[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.
