As far as I'm concerned, the above is true. You just have to control it. I got 2005, and the new 6-speed 350HP-650lbs-tf LBZ sounds great. But if i trade it in, I'm gonna lose...and for what? An updated LBZ will be out 7 months from now. I plan to get at least 5 years out of my LLY, then go shopping. I love my truck, and it makes no sense to switch right now, even though the numbers are awsome looking on the LBZs.

Interesting note to be made. 360HP/ 650ft-lbs of tq exceeds ANY of our requirements out of pickup trucks. I think we are on the fast track to govt. regulations of power output in full sive SUV's and trucks. IT will be interesting to see what happens. I personally think EPA restrictions will either not work at all, or only work for a matter of months due to technological advances in clean engines. Perhaps a throw back to the old HP-to-weight ratio?
