Yep - it's a different kind of power. Not meant to be fast, meant to be powerful at low speeds.

I think 0 to 60 was 16 seconds or something.

If you're looking for speed, get a vette.

The H1 was 400-500 ft lb of torque at 1800 rpm. It's geared lower.

Think of it as a street legal farm tractor crossed with a military truck.

If you want to be comfortable, get a vette. If you want to go fast, get a Viper.

IIRC the turbo trucks are 0-60 in ~18 seconds and n/a 6.5 trucks are ~20 seconds.

Duramax trucks are where the fun is at. I really wish that my truck had around 500hp/800tq. It would make life much more interesting.
