I notice you have a thing 3.5x3.5s, do you actually use one for its intended purpose?

3.5x3.5, is like a 4x4, but with out the manual gearbox... As for the 'purpose' I was reffering to things like living on a ranch in Montana, or a farm in Alabama...

I went to a ranch in Montana when I went to the States once. Just thought I'd share that with y'all.

I've never heard of it called that for not having a manual gearbox, that must me a regional thing for you. You can tell just by looking at the truck that it's only RWD. But given the fact he lives in Washington, they do get snow there where 4WD can be utilized.

Actually, we do get snow here... not as much as some places, but it gets bad sometimes... It's also fun to drive this because it has good power... I floored it when it was dead stop and it squealed like crazy... Ahh yeah... good times. Power? Ha.

Modern Cadillacs come with double that. Not a whole lot more . Your engine was good for 200 hp and 275 ft-lb. The 4.3L was good for 180 hp to 200 hp and 245 ft-lb to 260 ft-lb. That Vortec V6 was a good engine in its time. But you have to remember, it's not just the power of the engine, but how the gearing is for how powerful it feels. The V6 will feel more powerful in the truck due to it being RWD and there being relatively little weight over the rear tires, so they'll break loose a lot easier than in your car, since most of your weight is in the front and it's FWD. It can be deceiving. Also the vehicle weight has a large deal to do with it, as that truck is nearly 1000 pounds lighter than your car, haha.

I never said my car was faster. I'm just mocking what he said about its power. My car is far from powerful, and even it trumps his truck. That's all I'm getting at.

Anyhow, I never said my truck had more power than a V8... that would be stupid. However, it does have more power than my jeep (4.0L i6) PS - My mom's 1999 Jeep Cherokee has a 4.7 V8 Quadradrive AWD I never said you said that, either. My point is simply that it's actually not very powerful in general. That's all.
