Hard to beat a duramax, but if I wanted a car I'd buy a V6 Honda/acura/toyota/nissan 100 to 1 over GM or fords shit. You simply cant beat their efficiency and longevity. Look at nissan for power, their new GTR is only 80K or so and is embarrassing cars two to three times its price. Examples- twin turbo porsche, viper, Z06, and ferraris. Bone stock this thing is destroying pretty much everything on the road in pretty much every category, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds aint bad for a ricer... a little extra boost and that thing is a monster. Not starting a war here, just giving props where its due. Here's a really old clip of some GTR's in Japan.
In general, Japan is several years ahead of us in technology, automobiles included. The RL (ricer) from the first post in this thread is easily one of the safest cars on the road. Having said all that I'd much rather have my duramax, a few mods and its got plenty of power and I feel pretty damn safe with ~7000 pounds of steel around me
