Default Weird Question?!

I have been wondering?....Which do you think would win in a race...a Colorado Extream or a Tacoma XRunner? I know the Colorado has about 20 hp over the Tacoma, but man those new Tacomas MOVE!

there is so many different reviews saying different numbers like always. I would probably agree with specs directly from GM on this one but none the less, I know the Tacoma is pretty bad *** and I think I'd put my money on it.

IDK if they would under rate it. According the Chevy's website the 3.7L I-5 makes more power than Toyota's 3.5L V6.
