This is disappointing - I want to see a 5.0 or 6.2 "torture test." I am sick of all the websites covering the V6 and not the V8 engines and the fact that you can't get the 6.2 in a Fx4 or a truck with the 6.5 bed

he quit the race because he felt unsafe racing a 365hp truck against 800hp trucks but it wasn't the official race that was planned anyways the torture test race is nov 18

If your getting this from as you say qualified people you would know what the issue was. I say this is BS and completely made up or your dumb enough to buy into the rumor mill.
