lets be honest. mustangs, especially older(early 2000's) were freakin pigs. wouldnt even break 14sec. bone stock. in a real street race from a low roll or dead stop the ram will hold its own suprisingly well.

Comparing it to those trucks would obvioulsy be ridiculous, I agree. Comparing the Lightning and the SRT-10...the 10 was a dog. The Typhoon and the Psyclone were fast trucks by any measure...although not full size.
Bottom line it the Toyota is still faster than the Ram...I would consider it "quick"....but still not fast.
You gotta be careful with which mustangs you are comparing. Yes the early 2000's were slower. The 93/94's could be a 13sec car at the right track with the right driver in the right conditions. This ram still wont ge tinto the 14s and stuggles to stay in the 15s. Even an experieced driver wont see the 15s easily. Since we dont know exactly what mustang it was we really dont know. But Mike did say he ran from about 55-90....which leads me to believe the mustang was in a good power band range. A mustang would easily beat this truck from a dig as long as the driver doesnt break too much traction.
Ive said enough. I am glad Mike had fun. Maybe the kid was racing him...I do not know.
