Default Plow on truck

I just bought a 99 ECSB from a local dealer after seeing it on eBay. I just moved up to NY from Tampa so I needed a winter vehicle. The truck was sold as is, and "as is" was with a plow. Now, this isn't a bad thing, I just have no need for a plow. I've never really driven a Silverado before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It seemed pretty sluggish, but I'm used to driving a 400HP camaro everyday so I thought it was normal. Well, I finally had some time to take off the plow this evening, then took it out to the store....WOW! I didn't think a plow could not make that much of a difference. Felt like it gained about 25 more HP. I was already in love with the truck and was thinking....hmmm I could obviously squeeze more HP and TQ out of it, but now I can't wait to drive it and do more stuff to it. BTW, I had to take out a mustang 6er on the way to the store

Keep the plow, make extra $$ in the winter w/ it to fund mods for the vehicles. You won't care how slow it is in the winter, we get alot of snow up here so you aren't going anywhere fast from November until March.

Already got offered good money for it. More than I would have time to make plowing. Took everything off the truck yesterday.
