yes but how stable is its handling at 130+ ?!?! whats up with all these super powerful worthless trucks, theres NO reason i can think you would need that much power especially when all that power is going to waste in a 4700-5000 pound truck , might as well be 375 hp in a good handling 2500 pound car, still TONS Of power,

Yeah..in the trucks, you really gotta look at the torque.. Tho, it's still quite a feeling to get those things going!

Where does this info come from, Fialchar? There's no way a current stock, volume-produced Titan has more than 1/2 this power! Is it a pumped up show vehicle, a 'someday' hybrid with a hugh electric motor(s), or?

I was going through the websites of manufacturers for my stepmom (She decided on a Scion Xa and bought one of those) and I saw it. I'll check up on it and find it for you all.

I couldn't find it on nissanusa.com, so I checked my history from that day and found the page I was looking at, but it doesn't say it. Maybe I was delusional or something. I'm gonna keep on looking for it because I know I saw that number somewhere, but I can't find it :

Who needs a 450HP SUV. Nobody, it's a status thing.

Well, despite searching every site I went to and looking in magazines and everything, I can't find it. I guess I must have been really tired that day or something. Sorry about that
