V6 Silverados
Can the new Chevy Silverados with the 4.3L V6 really how over 9000 pounds? Anyone with practical experience in one case to arrest to that?

x2. The Typhoon/Syclone engine was a turbocharged and specially built older generation 4.3. Ironically it was rated at 5 hp LESS than the new 4.3, just 280 hp. I think that it was drastically underrated as evidenced by its 0-60 and 1/4 times. 4.3 seconds 0-60 and a mid 13 second 1/4 in an almost 4000 lb vehicle takes a lot more than just 280 flywheel horsepower, probably at least 350 according to online calculators.
True story. They were under rated. IDK why, but they were true sleepers. Another vehicle I wish I bought and mothballed along with a Grand National or 2!
They were under rated because GM wouldn't let Buick have more advertised HP than the Corvette.
