Anyway, that's pretty quick for a K10. My Range Rover is heavier still and runs 4.8 0-60 (if you can imagine the Diesel version takes 12.6!). In both cases it takes a lot of torque. Mine's only rated 510hp/461ftlb but must be underrated, because it runs low 13s and weighs 6600lbs w/fuel.
I guess rather than saying they're never going to be quick I should have said "it takes a ton more power because you're working against a tall tire ratio and a heavy truck to begin with".
