I think the hostility was misinterpreted, my apologies... I paid nowhere near 50k for my f250, however, I have a harley davidson diesel f250, and they sticker for more than 53k now... Cars For Sale: Car Details - AutoTrader.com

I suppose a straight comparison of the two styles arent fair, however, how do they determine a car of the year... i would imagine a lot of cars are good, "for what they are". I am currently looking a god number of cars to replace my truck.. IS350, GS430, LS430, Volvo S60r, STi, Diesel Mega Cab Dodge ram, Any of the SRT-8 Lineup, and i even considered an SRT 10 ram for a few minutes, its just so unreasonable for the gas mileage... How can i NOT compare all these? They range from mid 20's to mid 40's and most can be had for high 20's. If i WERENT to compare them i would be stuck picking based solely on what they can do. I dont give a shit how much a truck can tow, or how safe the volvo may be if they both fall apart at 50k miles.. however, if one is the same price as the other, i better had see SOMETHING that resembles quality. One of the main things that makes me like the new IS and the S60r is the fit, finish, and overall quality of the interior materials... Besides, not to be a dick, but some of the s60's that arent R models are bland and kinda boring

Oh jeez that hurt. Just kidding, I agree... S60s ARE boring and bland and most pretty ugly that aren't the R's... i.e S60 T5's were nice looking but yeah R ftw

youre talkin about 230 crank hp...i bet an evo at 12psi would be around that. and no it wont take it from a roll stock for stock.

Didn't you hit 400hp on the stock turbo?
