What exactly do you mean? It is lighter and it has more power and torque. Something up with the suspension?
"Optional 5.3-liter V-8 rated 355 hp at 5,600 rpm, 383 lbs.-ft. at 5,600 rpm (380 hp, 416 lbs.-ft. on E85). "

8.78 seconds to 60. I'm guessing the hp is not in a good rpm range.
I'm just comparing their results to my truck. Bone stock 13 k1500 ecsb. 6.2 with 3.73's 403 hp and 417 lb-ft and mine will go 0-60 in 6.10 seconds with a best of 6.09, worst 6.35. Maybe the truck has 3.08 gears?

I think the main problem is you are comparing the 5.3 to your 6.2, them are very different beasts. Also he had traction control on, why not put it in 4wd and go.
The engine in itself is a great design. I can't wait to see someone spool it with e85. Direct injection is something that has been needed for a while.

I just got to wonder if he had it in 2WD with TCS on. 4WD would yield much better launches especially with the low end torque that thing has now.

Guess we will need to wait and see. He never did said anything about gearing. If the TCS is anything like what I have seen on other makes/models applying the brakes to keep the tires from spinning won't do any good.
