My trucks are for hauling the family and hauling gear in the bed.

I agree, but having it a 12 second truck you can pull a boat, put camping gear in or throw the family in. Not bad. Is it fast by todays standards? Nope. It would be a quick, fun truck.

I understand and agree with the pulling aspect of it. I was more or less just poking fun at it.

I've gone from a hotrod/toy to a truck before as a sole transportation thing and it never works out. You will always get bored once you get hooked on the speed addiction. When you don't have a fun toy, something just feels like it's...missing, incomplete. lol. That's why I have both, toys and trucks.

Well I mean now that you have a CTS, you can eat your dinners at 5pm and catch Murder She Wrote on CDFI before you hit the bed at 8.

After the fun ride home from dinner the Mrs. is ready to skip Murder She Wrote and go right to bed.

In the 5.0 on the way home she was already...

At least the truck is the fastest color. It could be dubbed "The Screamin Seamen II"

What Paul said below. People that own truck still want better performance out of them from the factory. The point isn't to break records, but to have something that you feel is fun to drive. It just comes down to personal tastes. With a legit tune from MPT, Livernois, or 5 Star, you now have a gas V6 truck that makes almost 500 rwtq. To me, that's just ludicrous. But you still have a usable truck that can act like a truck. Just does it better.
