360 magnum vs
Towing a 7,000 pound camper kinda slows you down... Although I have challenged the only one I have seen in my town. Its for sale. Should I buy it and put a Hemi in it? LeCar go LeFast. LeHemi?
with my 318 ive beaten
friends 89 ford f250 (no problem)
local guys superduty
tight one with another locals guys cummins but we didnt get going very far,
countless ricers
and just today a s10, which i smoked, but i was surprised, with the number of "edge" chip, K&N, summit, and all kinds of other performance stickers taking over this guys back window, i figured he would be pushin close to 600 horses

I've taken my truck to the drag strip a couple of times. I beat an old BMW car but that was about it. I got beat by a couple diesels that were modified. However, I was just running a test and tune.
I haven't raced either of these to compare and am not going to but a buddy has a Chevy 2500 with a 6.0L motor and while I haven't raced them I have driven it and I can tell you it would blow the doors of the Dodge Ram with the 360.
As for Honda's I've got a 96 Accord EX 4 cylinder automatic that had a fart can and intake but no longer has the exhaust. I've never raced them against each other but I've run both at the track and both run very similar times. I think it would be whoever is the better driver here as the times are very close between the two in the 1/8th of a mile. I will also say that after the 8th of a mile the truck is pretty much done where as the Honda keeps on pulling. I have no doubt the Honda would win in the 1/4th of a mile. It's just getting going by the 8th of a mile where as the Ram is pretty much as I said done.
I also have a 06 Honda Accord 6 cylinder 6 speed manual and while I've never raced it, there is no way in hell the Ram would ever thing about keeping up. Hell, the Chevy 6.0L of my buddies is a lot faster than the Ram but it's nothing compared to the Accord. The stock Accord V6's seem to have reviews saying they run mid 14's in the quarter of a mile. It's no way a Ram could compete with this without thousands of dollars in mods.
That's just my view on it. I think a lot of the 4 cylinder Honda's would be close or may even get beat slightly by a Ram. However, the 6 cylinder ones won't. I also think that at least the 4cylinder Honda I've had an experience with would burn the Ram up if you ran 1/4th of a mile. It's just they are very close in the 8th of a mile time wise. The local track is a 8th of a mile so that's why I've run them both on that.
A buddy also has a 97 F-250 Diesel that's stock with a manual transmission and I can also tell you that would rip the Ram a new one. There is no way it would be even halfway close. I haven't raced these either but you can tell from driving them.
With bolt ons & wt reduction, 5. 41 sec
With some minor top end changes & 7psi boost, 4.13 sec
List of vehicles Ive beat, pretty long. Here is a few Ive beat on the 1/4m
454SS, decimated it, he was stock & ran 16.1 IIRC.
Hemi Rams, every single one Ive raced, never met up with any fast ones though By the time I do, wont bother racing them anyways unless they are stroked, blown or spraying.
5.3 Chevs, lots
4.8 Chevs, even more
5.2/5.9 Daks
5.2/5.9 Rams, about the only one Ive lost too in over 10yrs is a good buddys Indy. We are usually door to door anytime we've raced.
5.4 Fords, few, various levels of mods
S10 Extremes, dime a dozen unless running 350s
Ford Rangers, same thing though I have lost to the odd one (built 302s)
305 Slowmaros, so many
318 Duster with mods
5.0 Mustang, various years and levels of bolt ons
4.6 Mustangs same as above
350 Nova
390 Chevelle
Big block Vette, think it was a 75
00 Ford Lightning (I had stock 5.9/every good bolt on) ran same et but I treed his eyes out & he couldnt catch me

01 Corvette with cai & exhaust work, had him by 5lengths on 1/4m (I was running 7psi boost)
383 Blazer II pro street truck, tubbed, very nice looking/sounding, barely beat him but I backed out of it by about 1200' as I hit the limiter & didnt want to use od again (smoked it)
You can see what a bunch of various cars/trucks run 0-60mph at link below

Thanks Trey 
Goal is to run under 7/11 secs in 1/8 & 1/4
0-60 times faster than Buggatti Veyron
If software is right & I dont snap an axle or spit out the driveshaft, should have all 3 goals
If it isnt, not like Id be that disappointed with running low 7/11s or 2.7-3.0sec 0-60
