Just so you know the genesis of my question. I am not in the market for a
pickup. I had a situation last night were I raced a pickup, and I'm sure it
was a GMC. He raced away at the green light and my reaction was slow, but
still expected my car to catch and beat him. I eventually caught him and
passed him around 100 after I had to slow behind a car in the right lane. I
was left with a less than satisfied feeling after that. The guy's truck was
very quick.
Murph, 500hp at the crank for what, your SHO? Must be supercharged, right?
