True torque is very important, but u cant just ignore HP. If u look at a data sheet and look at just torque between a L98 and a LS1, there pretty much the same. Then u look at the HP, and they u start seeing a difference, so everything is important.

You're wrong. It's a 345hp/360tq short bed extended cab pickup. It doesn't really have enough torque to tow heavy trailers not enough bed space for use as a work truck, too many doors to look cool, and sits too high to be considered a 'sport' truck. It's basically an overpriced underpowered "loaded" silverado pickup with a $2000 extras package for $10000. Think Camaro Z28 SS vs Camaro Z28. Nothing more than graphics interior and exhaust. I'd get a loaded Silverado and have the same exact thing save the dubs and plaque.
