Default 06 Magnum R/T vs. 00 Dakota 4.7

Well since i killed the 05 magnum sxt by 5 truck lengths last time i raced, i figured why not try running a r/t. low and behold one of my troops bought an 06 magnum r/t so i was like sweet perfect opportunity. I knew the car was stock with the exception of a Flashpak tuner ( which i told him to buy as his first mod). Last night we lined em up for 2 races. Now i figured id lose by a decent amount, roughly same weight but im giving up about 70 to 100 horses. first run he spun alittle i got a great launch and it was freakin neck and neck till about 70 then he started creepin away from me. I shut down at about 100 and he was only 1 1/4 cars ahead. I about pissed myself cause i did not expect to be that close. we pulled over and then hooked up his flashpak and set up the performance tune that comes with it. I knew it was gonna be ugly for me this next run. lined em up again. we both got great launches and when we both hit second it was over, he just started walkin away from me. At 100 he was about 5 to 6 cars in front! he couldn't believe the difference the tune made ( even though i told him it would be a night and day difference). I told him he needs to look for updates and then ill go help him go through all the tuning bits and set up a bad *** tune. on another note my truck will probably hit 100,000 miles next trip to work! Not a kill but at least a Dodge won
