Ok bubba, lets see here, I'm talking about HOTROD. One, olds doesn't exist anymore. So for hotrod I'm talking about older. 60's through 70's. And I say again they are not the same. Yes in the 90's and 00's their the same damn car. But not that longgggggggggg ago in the muscle car era. geez.

Matt - My girlfriend owns and drives a Toyota..
My experience with Toyota, Lets see there was $1,200 for the Head gasket $850 for the clutch in the 6 months since we have been dating.
Yes it has 140,000 miles on it ,
But it also will not pull it's way out of a wet paper bag.
I can tell you have never tried to maintain 70-75 MPH up hill on the interstate with your Toyota.
Let alone have something in the box that weights more then 20 pounds.
I recently had the privledge of trying to drive across the country in a 97' Toyota V-6 towing 2 Raptors on a snowmobile trailer.
(down to second gear in some of the mountain's Montana.) Thank god there was no headwind.

HAHA! I've noticed Toyotas to be pretty gutless too! If they wouldnt use freakin car engines that pump out no torque they might do better! Trucks need torque. If you notice the Toyota V6 3.3 puts out as much HP as the Chevy 4.3 but can't pull anything worth a damn cause it puts out like a quarter the torque. The 4.3 liter is filled with gobs of torque (for a V6) I'm very happy with it, awesome engine!
