Maybe it didnt...
Was he racing for sure? Hard to tell with a street race.
I could almost take my buddies 5.4 stock...because he would sit and spin and my lil 4six just doesnt even chirp and takes off. Hell I would own him on the line then he would come by and blow my doors off.
5.4 is faster, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
If the 4.6 had more *****, they wouldnt make the 5.4.
Figure out the power to wieght ratio...

Chevy's? Work Trucks?!?! - That's the funniest thing I ever heard . I remember their commercials . When the work gets rough , you need a Chevy lololol - That cracked me up , because in the commercial the heaviest work the truck did was hall about 8 bails of hay in the bed!!!! What a joke lol. It makes sense tho , they prolly didn't want to get sued for false advertising.

Haha, I have to make fun of your spelling too.
"hall" "bails" Haha, sorry.
Dude, at first I though you were talking about round bales (thats what Im used too). Now our round bales weigh around 1800lbs a piece. 8 of them would be 14,400lbs. Haha I was like "DUDE, IF YOU THINK THATS A JOKE..!!!"
Haha, then it donned on me, 8 round bales wouldnt fit in the bed of a truck...that would easily crush the bed sides too...lol.
Ahhhh, Im dumb.

They loaned me their car, stopped the clock and reimbursed me for the cost of the tool. Compare that to laying on my back in the snow to R&R a clutch. No thanks.
