Got one last week (extended cab non CC) with my stock ram CC 4x4
we gave it a go at around 20mph, noticed he was getting itchy with his xmas lights all hanging around the bottom of his truck so let him have it, walked away from him, got to 70 and let off for safety and let him go by, only can figure since we were already moving he didn't have any advantage on me, and yes have the 3.92s,
but really theres always gonna be someone faster so its really mute to worry about, while they are replacing twisted frames, burnt turbos, and bad trannys we'll continue to truck on down the highway.
Think I raced one from the line a month ago, he stayed off my car one length until I hit about 35 and then I started to move a little more, couldn't figure how this crappy ford v8 was running that good but maybe he was a eco with a bad driver, who knows.

Aspirated vs non-aspirated motor, it happens...
I seen a couple down at GLD's (drag strip) this fall, seem to me they were running consistent numbers around 14.9-15.1, stock. The only Ram there was a 2011 2x4 Hemi with a 3.92 rear-end (stock), and he ran a best of 14.8, but consistent 14.9's. His truck had less then 1k miles. Both Eco-boost's however were four wheel drive trucks.
