The definition of "anemic" is NOT "not a race engine". It is true
that the Magnum V6 Dakota is not the ideal race truck. But for truck
stuff, it is well suited, and that is what a Consumer Report review
should be based on.

ps: on the way home from work today, I was forced to defeat a couple
of 1/2 ton GMCs, just to make me feel better about having such an
anemic truck. OK, the 2nd one wasn't trying, but I'm pretty sure the
Z71 was.

Ok this is where I get flamed. The V-6 is anemic. It is NOT a race
engine,
It will however out-tow any other V-6 on the market. The same is true
of my
V-8. The magnum engines were designed for torque, and they have
plenty of
it. They do make alot of power with simple mods, that's why bernd's
truck
kicks ass. Try to get more torque out of the competition's motor and
you
won't get much out of it, but try to get more hp out of our engines
and you
have an animal. So I have to agree with consumer reports we will be
outrun
by the others but we'll be towing the consumer reports building while
we're
doing it.
