Before buying my first SUV, I felt the way you did. But after owning, building, and racing several camaros, trans ams, etc, I wanted to try something different. It's a bit more challenging and rewarding when you're spanking vettes, mustangs, etc with a 5500+ lb full sized SUV. And seeing the facial expression from some of these sports car owners afterwards is priceless. People can understand losing to a high HP coupe or sedan, but not a daily driven, grocery getting Tahoe that is still easily capable of towing.

Well looking at your sig it appears you did it correctly, good job there!

I'm talking more about the guy who doesn't have quite the resources and just adds crazy headers, a big cam like you'd put in a souped up Camaro or Corvette, and is only concerned with how much air you can flow through the engine at 6000 RPM on an N/A engine. For most of us SUV owners, we don't spend enough time at the top of the RPM range to make it worth it, at least in my experience. Give me the low end torque and I'm happy in this type of vehicle.

Maybe I'm getting old now in my 40s, but even with my Vette and STS-V, I don't have any desire to spank other cars on the roads. There's too much as risk for me to worry about getting caught doing that. Although at the dragstrip I admit, it would be kinda fun to do in a 3 ton vehicle.
