Out of all the V8s I've driven, this one was the most disappointing. Even F150s and Tahoes I've driven over the years had a nicer load of torque off the line. That, at least, is something. Transmission probably didn't help, it was a very slushy feeling automatic, although it did let me cruise at 1100rpm with lockup engaged. It just didn't do anything terribly well.
