Default COULD IT OUT RUN HIM?

I HAVE A STOCK RAM 1997 1500 WITH A 5.9LITER 360.

COULD I OUT-RUN A 1998 GMC 5.7LITER Z71.

IT IS ALSO STOCK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THANKS

In the 1/4 mile he'll whoop on u.
On a country mile u got a chance
dodge don't shut down like the chevys do .
He'll hit his 94mph and the motor will bog out.
The dodge on the other hand will keep climbing.

Not sure ,but I've owned both and
in my opinion if both trucks had the same gear and
weight the chevy would be the winner in the 1/4.
There pretty snappy.

I think you probably could...
Ive beaten one with my 318.

The 360 got more power in either 97, or 98

My 97 with the 360 engine and 3.90 gears could not take a buddy's '98 GM 5.7L with 3.73's. This is back in 1999 when both trucks were fairly new. Mopar98 is right though about top end speed. I had much more top end, but the quarter wasn't even close.
