Re: Big HP/TQ trucks....how usable is the power?

No. Anything over 4, 4.5 hundred hp is a waste on the street without some major suspension upgrades. Wider tires help to a point but major hp is for the track. You say "streetable", so that would be up for debate. Newer cars/trucks have "traction control" and other systems to go with their big hp numbers. Just my opinion.
