Yeah, that 1/4 mile time seems slow for a 417 hp RCSB truck, but look who tested it...Motor Trend. It seems like alot of the magazine tests are flawed. They either test vehicles in bad weather or the drivers simply don't know how to drive. You have to admit though, 417 hp/417 tq from a naturally aspirated engine is impressive. How many Fords can claim that? As for that truck's appearance, those chevy decals could go and the wheels could have been smaller, like 18's.

Thanks for clearing up the Concept issue.

... when they say "standing" quarter mile.. does that mean from a dead stand still... or is that just the terms the mag uses? I would drive that thing off of a cliff if I had that much hp and only ran 14's...
and ya cree.. idk what their thinking.. its quite ugly. I hate the new body style as it is and I'm going to guess those wheels are just for testing or something.

It might run faster that way. Maybe it'd break 10's, who knows?

Hey Silver, shouldn't you be changing your screen name to 99silver6.0?
