I think the unloaded 1/4 mile time is about 13.2.

i guess it depends on who's numbers you look at, and also what tires.... throw some decent drag radials on that thing and it would probably do a good bit better....... i saw one magazine had it at 13.8 and another one at 13.1...... that is a HUGE difference.

that's a great looking truck, but isn't the engine almost three s2000s engines combined considering its displacement. Don't get me wrong I love trucks too my modified 02 Denali is faster than my stock S, but they serve their own purpose. So I don't consider this to be sad at all, just great for the automotive industry!!

Hmm... it's a pickup with no weight over the drive wheels. I wonder if you added weight in 100lb increments to the rear of the bed and did acceleration tests, would the added traction more than make up for the weight and the 0-60 times actually go down a bit before going up?
