Cummins Megacab Dodge Ram Is Like a Drag-Racing Coal Train

Let’s play a little game. Here’s the scenario: you’re going to the drag strip, and you have to pick one car to race. Your choices are a Pontiac Firebird, an Audi RS 7, a custom Honda S2000, a C6 Corvette, a Tesla Model S, or a custom Cummins Turbo Diesel Megacab Dodge Ram. Speaking to a Dodge crowd, y’all already might know the secret hiding within the Ram, but the majority of the public would never expect to see a pickup this big do work on a drag strip.

Here are the results in the video:

Race 1:
Ram: 11.997 (103.55)
Firebird: 12.888 (112.53)

Race 2:
Ram: 11.182 (113.72)
Audi RS 7: 11.419 (120.94)

Race 3:
Ram: 11.105 (125.38)
Hidden Performance Honda S2000: 10.685 (132.74)

Race 4:
Ram: 11.148 (124.08)
C6 Corvette: 13.597 (107.03)

Race 5:
Ram: DNF
Tesla Model S: Would have won

If we’re to believe the comments on the video (dangerous, I know), the Ram’s input shaft broke in the last race, which probably saved it the giant loss it would have taken to the torque-a-licious Tesla. Either way, these are some extremely impressive runs for something that’s so massive.
