Yep. 'Cause backwater hicks and rednecks have no trouble slapping down 70 large on a new truck just to keep up with the Joneses...

I know the torque is far superior to mine, just thought something that ridiculously obese would have the hp to match it.

you dont need lots of horsepower.

sure this thing will accelerate slow, but it will accelerate at pretty much the same rate in any gear, due to that sizeable torque. 605ft lb is more than most if not nearly all super cars. the bugatti has 1000lb ft though....and thats why it can beat the mclaren f1 to 200......if the f1 has a 120mph lead.

I said drooling all over, not actually driving.

Park it in a lake for me.

I'm an armchair sociologist. That means I take my personal misanthropic feelings and put them into places where they don't belong.

How often do you see Sport Utility vehicles being used for sport or utility? I guess depending on your defination of "utility" that could be anything...

I'm just tired of people buying into marketing shens and making people with real heart look like followers. Like with the whole "organic" thing. Vegans look mainstream now, under a questionable marketing guise.

I think it's like these 4ss kicking trucks, being bought up by yuppies so they can parade around like someone with a reason to kick 4ss.



Edit: and if you're a yuppie with a big truck for no reason... I'm jealous that I can't afford a big truck for no reason.

Intended, right.

But then people buy them to take to work and impress their buddies. Like they do with the "hummers".

Should they pass a law to protect your delicate sensibilities on this issue?

meh, I give a fvck what people do. I just tell it like it is.

Edit: I don't give a fvck rather.

How what is? Trucks like these have been around for a long time. If you want to see one you have to go to the RV spots at a big state park, where grandpa's got a 50' 5th-wheel hitched up to one, roughin' it in the woods with his 50" plasma and satellite.

WTF are you assuming about me?!

I love trucks. I'd buy one if I had a need for one. But I don't, so I won't. There's no reason to. Just as there's no reason for someone to buy one of these fvcking things if they arn't going to be pulling a big fvcking trailor with a 50" plasma tv inside.

What I'm saying is that people are going to get these to keep up with the jones's. Which is a shame to what trucks are ment for (TCBing), and it shows the superficiality of our society.

No, it shows we have choice. Just because someone chooses to have one does not make them superficial.

wtf is that monstrosity???

Isn't it amazing how some people think on this forum.

I stand completely corrected on the HP issue. Why the hell would you put all of that glitz in a 'work' truck. Good job GM, I'm sure you're going to overtake Toyota, Honda and Subaru by mid 06

 

[JulesMaximus]

BWAHAHAHA!!! How small does your penis have to be to lust for one of those? :laugh:MAO!!!

That's not the point of this truck, it's a work truck. Same as they've always built, i don't even see what the big deal is here.

That has to be just about the stupidest car related post I've ever seen.

Viper GTS

Aww I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Do you have one on order?

You didn't hurt anyones feelings. If you think the power of this beast is contained in a HP number, you are really a retard. This thing will pull 10 Foresters tied together.

 

[Maximus96]

ugly...like a rock...oooh, like a rock.

 

[Pinot]

Id rather take an F-350.

Appended.

nah, i'll just keep my civics, accords, camrys, and Japanese Tonka pickups atleast 5 miles away from you and you'll never be able to reach me without running out of gas first

 

[SaltBoy]

It looks like a RC car, only life-sized!

Id say the assumption he made seems pretty much right on. America is a wasteful society and this is as wasteful as they get
