i looked at a regular cab version (2 door) and you arent allowed to tow anything with it? so i said whats the point in having a truck?! the guy said its quick haha

they are rare though as they are manual 'stick shift' so not many people know how to drive them properlly. only the quad cab is allowed to tow anything! so as it will need to tow a small trailor thats the one im going for. its either this or an evo 9......... truck wins!...just lol

yeah you're probably right about raping the vettes with top speed, they tend to be owned by middle aged men who keep them under silk covers in dry heated garages! haha so their top speed is around....errr....0mph haha
