I used to hang out on a board for Chevy & GMC truck owners (I got a pickup truck as a hand-me-down years ago, this was before I bought the 944, which is much more practical for living around here BTW). Anyway it never ceased to amaze me how much money, time and effort those guys would get into in order to build engines/drivetrains making absurd amounts of power, just to go about as fast as a stock, "boring" old n/a 944. With no handling whatsoever. Absolutely astonishing.

Most trucks are good at burning gas and making loud noise - little else. They sure as hell don't go fast. If I'm going to spend $15k building up an engine, I'd MUCH rather it go into a 2,600# 944 than a 3,600# 4x4 that has no handling. Call me crazy, but it just seems to make more sense that way, but whatever creams your Twinkie I guess. . .
