Hey guys. A friend I work with has a 2008 Reg Cab Short Bed Z71 Silverado with a 4.8L V8 and he's been bragging all day about how fast his truck is and how it would beat mine. What do you guys think?

Which rear do you have?Don't blow the launch because it'll be closer than you think.

On chevy's site a 2wd reg cab with a 4.8 weighs 4300...and your quad weighs closer to 5200. Hell my curb is around 4900...damn rams are heavy

He has a good chance actually...he has a 600 lbs weight advantage and less power loss with the 4l60-e tranny/electric fans. Is his Z71 a 4x4? They use to all be 4x4's but that changed a few years ago. He could also have a tune which really brings the ls-based engines to life and you'd never even know...but the same goes for you Which rear do you have?
Don't blow the launch because it'll be closer than you think.

I remember driving his truck one time. It's quick but my Ram feels considerably quicker.
On another note. I hear getting a good aftermarket torque converter will help bring back a good amount of lost hp and tq.
