Default V6 Dodge Beats a V8 Chevy?

Alright I drive a V6 Dakota with everything stock except a flowmaster 40. I pulled up at a redlight to turn on to the interstate and there was a Chevy 2500 next to me. I was just sitting there and I saw him inching up out of the corner of my eye. I usually wouldn't bother to race one because I thought I'd always get beat. Well the light turned green and we both guned it. He had the inside so he was ahead but I couldn't believe it, I started inching up on him and by the time I let off I was going 90 and he was at my back wheel. I was in shock, I dont really know how I could of beat him...but yeah I was pretty happy.

Well see I'm not sure if it was a 1500 or a 2500, it was night and I couldn't see. But from the size of it, it looked to be a 2500...and it was gas.

Mines regular cab 3.9 2wd auto

there's also 4.3Lv6 fullsize chevy trucks out there, seems like a lot more of those than the v6 rams, but they're out there. i'm not saying that's absolutely what it was, just another possibility.
