Default Anyone in PA race a Saturn lately?

I hang out with some supercharged Saturn guys and noticed a post on there boards asking how fast are Dodge trucks. Here is the original post:

How fast's a Dodge Ram turbo diesel? [/align] [hr] Just wondering what kind of numbers a last-gen Dodge Ram turbo diesel puts down. He certainly surprised me!

Was bored, so went out for a cruise. Found a guy in a raised Ram with huge tires and kick-*** semi-style exhaust that kept wanting to play. We didn't get insane, or anything, but did a couple roll races, and one from a dig.

From 40 mph I walked away, but from 60 mph, when he had a little lead, it took me a while to pass him and put a couple, uh, trucks on him. He was hauling ***.

From a dig, I got a good launch. He kept up in 1st, and put like a 1/4 car on me when I had to shift. In second and into third, I didn't beat him as bad as I would've thought. Got a thumbs up from him, and we went on our way.

No idea if he was modded. He did have an A-pillar gauge pod with all sorts of crap.

But either way, that sucker hauled for the huge beast it is.[/align]

The Saturn guys are a very cool bunch and have respect for anything fast unlike some groups who bash anything thats not a (insert Mustang, Camaro, etc.). Would like to know what that truck had done to it ....
