I believe it only part of the engineer quest of HP/WEIGHT. But a good
suspension will kill any vehicle in a corner. I ran a Roush V-6 Mustang and
stomped on a Camaro SS. He could not hold the corner but off the line was
great. It should be HP/WEIGHT + SUSPENSION. Maybe add a (WOMAN + MAN) as
an option. <chuckle>

ummm... hmmm... before I comment.. just think HP/weight ratios.
S-10=lighter...
Oh believe me,I'm well aware of P/W ratios.
guess it's down to what motors are in which trucks.. speed
is all about hp/weight ratios. yes, torque is a big player, i'm just not
gonna start beating dead threads

It was more like I should have counted to ten before replying. : )
I rarely have reason to post as my Dak's setup is complete
and finely tuned. It serves my purpose as a daily driver just fine.
I wish I could add too, or help anyone with their newer stuff.
But alas I own an older (92) modified example.
In any event,It bothers me that while i'm lurking to save B/W there is some
gm guy torquing off about the superiority of the gm product.
I come here to read nothing but pure MoPar,barring all.
Sheesh a S/B Magnum makes more T then any B/B geeXbrand.
Let's try too at least keep it real.
whew that feels better. : )
Carry on guys.
