          Torque is way more fun for a daily driven car (IMHO)

              I'm pretty sure you could notice a change in the rotation of the earth when those things launch.

              Impressive.

                  I concur, although I love the revs for in traffic between stoplights, just don't shift if its all slow moving and let it wind out.

                      My DD is a 2000 Dodge Dakota with a 4.7L V-8, 5 speed stick and 3.92 gears. 5th gear at 30mph, turning 800rpm.... I can bury the throttle and it starts pulling... Around 1500 it starts coming on hard. Gotta love it.

                      If I drive responsibly on the highway, I can pull 20mpg too. Not bad for 4WD.

                                                          I'm next to two huge mountain ranges - near I-5 - so I run into the truckers from time to time.

                                                          It seems that the motors on the trucks are not too advanced - but that all the truckers talk about their trannys, as if to brag about them. I guess with 1500 LBS tq - you can pull anything - unless it's up hill.
