In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters.

So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
