Default 5.9 vs v6 Frontier

The stock Nissan Frontier doesn't stand a chance does it? Just want to make sure, I have a lot riding on the bet.

The 4.0 Frontier? Yeah man there no slouch. My friend just got one a couple weeks ago and it will def get up and go. They have like 260hp and around the same in torque. Is the extended or full 4 door cab? Weight always plays a roll. I still think you have a good chance but you def won't leave him too quick.

Yeah its kinda sad whem dodge's 3.9 makes like 175 and Nissan's 4.0 makes 260... But then again Dodge doesn't make that anymore so I guess its not fair to compare the two.

much quicker than i would've thought... you have him in torque (no doubt) but he will get you in HP for sure. idk i wouldn't consider it a great matchup since his truck is 8 years newer and technology has obviously changed since then, but i think you should race him and win so we can laugh at him
