Why is it that all of these new trucks and suvs have like 240-300hp? Are they really that fast? Also, on a different subject, if i was driving a viper in japan, would all of the like japanese kids say wow! nice import, or domestic?..just wondering:o

240-300 hp ain't shit when it's geared towards towing and the vehicle weighs 4,000lbs or more. :)

Now thats a truck! I would think the 1/4 time would be a little faster, itst that close to what the z06 gets?

Have you driven a truck lately? They handle like shit! They bounch all over the place and are so tippy in corners...actually quite scary. But if you drive them slow and not agressive, then ya, they are fine.
I hate them personally. I hate getting some guy who cant aim his headlights properly and blind the shit out of you... Plus I think they are compensaiting for something...Big dually+deasal+Big lift kit+mudder tires+Big cow guard on the bumper=small pen!s:D
