Default **** chevy!

Have you guys seen the new advertisments on here? Chevy has a new silverado model called XFE. it gets 21 MPG. WOW!!! (sarcastic) that is amazing considering that a regular silverado gets 20!! You definatlly beat dodge on this one!! it comes with a 5.3 that only has 320 hp!! when you put that into context the XFE sounds really stupid when compared to the hemi that gets 20 mpg.
P.S. im talking about EPA estimated mileage

the 4.6 3v packs 300 H/p, Now I'm a ex Ford guy with the opion that the mod motors are the worset engines ford ever made, I'm not going to mention the spark plugs blowing out of the heads on the 5.4, ford fixed the heads on the newer 5,4, but cam phase issues ( dual timming chains ) on the Ford V/8 are a known problem.

On my 04 F-150, the timming chains would go slack after the engine was off, turn on the engine and they would sudenly go tight, I had the whole valve asembly rebuit under warenty, than the whole dam thing happened again.

as For chevy, thier pretty easy to work on, ie change the plugs.. the hemi is a pain in the *** and the champions don't work well with high milage.

Now I like the hemi, but every one has a story abought what ius better, true be told, I'm a convert to Dodge, but thier s some dodge owners who will never buy a Dodge, ever..

Sad thing is that the 5.3 puts about the same hp to the wheels as the hemi (3rd gen hemi's anyway)...a more efficient tranny and electric fans stock. And that's what counts..
