Raced a 4th gen Hemi QC/SB 4x4 this afternoon from 0 up to about 60. He lost by about 1 or 2 lengths as best as I could tell. Worst part for him was he was on my passenger side, so he got a big earfull of the open cutout as I pulled away

I've lost track...

Worst loss ever was to my cousins 05 Cummins Dually which is about 800 hp. I didn't even stand a chance

As for wins I don't remember most of them enough but I guess my most memorable was an extended cab silverado ss or my buddies chipped 08 6.7L cummins duallie

As for ties...
06ish Nissan Maxima. Stayed side by side neither of us losing or gaining on the highway (can't tell speed due to my speedo being buried but his said 209km/h on the nice orange digital dash last time I saw it)
98 Nissan altima riced to the ****. Fully gutted and caged for the track

Please, help me understand... Your Ram beat a truck with a diesel engine with 350 HP, 650 ft-lbs of TQ in it's stock form.. Not to mention the chip gave it at least another 100 HP and TQ. How did your truck beat it? Was it a close match? I'm not doubting you I'm just trying to wrap my head around it..

he said it was an 84 vette. Those things were turds, they were only 205 horsepower and 290 lb/ft of torque. weight with an auto was around 3200 pounds, thats about 16.8 pounds per horsepower.

figure a 5000pound truck, with 345 horsepower and it is about 15.5 pounds per horsepower.
A6000 pound truck comes in at 17.3 pounds per horsepower. add in the increased torque from todays engines and it would be reasonable to assume that this would be an interesting race

*all ratings are at the flywheel
