True, you may have a whole lot more power, but all that power still doesn't
get you up and goin' as fast as the Neon. I think we need to define power
here. Are you referring to the fact that you have more HORSEpower? It may
be true that the Dak V8 has twice as much HORSEpower than a 4 banger Neon,
but he has the power to humble you in a drag race. I'm not trying to
downplay the Dakota. I love mine and the V8, but I think we should be
realistic here. There are plenty of 4 cylinder engines out there that could
outrun a Dakota. I'm sure you would also get a real power trip if you drove
around a fast little Neon for awhile.
