Beat A Hemi Ram 3 Times Options

[Tex-Mex]

YES I AM

[Texas Jim]

lets go, Im down for a run, if you put the stock tune back first

I think you may have your hands full even with tuned 5.3 against a stock tuned SD.

I dont mind losing, as long as its to a GM truck

Felix,

You may want to see how bad you can beat the old gray haired Grandpa, in the 2.5 ton Cadillac, with the itty bitty 4.6, before you jump on the 6.2 Denali.



Just saying.......

Lets be fair, the caddy wins that battle because of power/weight.

The Caddy is only 292 HP with a 4.6L engine and weighs almost 4700 lbs.
He may out weigh me a LITTLE, but he has more motor and it is tuned.

I wouldn't bet a lot on it either way. I think it may be pretty close.

Yeah, but Darky's truck out runs the caddy.

You would have to bring THAT up.

Curious, how much did he pull on you?


btw- everywhere I look the dry curb weight of a DTS is 4000lbs.

The very first time we did it, both of us were bone stock.
From about a 50 roll, I could pull him about 1 length till he hit his speed limiter at 100.

Then he got the Diablo Predator...and I was still bone stock.
And it was before I had the speed limiter removed.
We started at about a 50 roll.
He slowly pulled me till I hit the speed limiter at 123 MPH.
At that time he was about 2 or 3 lengths ahead of me.
When I hit the limiter...he was GONE.

With both of them STOCK...I could pull him about 1 length.
And with the Caddy STOCK...and Darkanion with the Diablo tune...he could pull me a couple of lengths.

The Diablo tune made about 3 or 4 length difference in his truck from 50 to 123.

We haven't tried since Justin worked on both of them.
His transmission has been flaky and we were waiting on that to get fixed right before running again.

Yeah...thats DRY WEIGHT...but add gas, oil, junk in the trunk, my 200 lbs, etc etc etc.

My title weight says 4200 even.
I had it weighed at a truck stop..with me in it and a half tank of gas.
4670 lbs.

C'mon, man... Don't be a pWONssy... Deal with it as it comes.

You've been raggin' my ass for a couple of weeks now about the transmission in MY truck. So, put up or shutup, man!

Don't make me go rent a Tundra and show you up! I'll take that big sweaty girlfriend you were talking about away from you!

I was going to mouth-off some more... BUT, I see the 'rest' of the conversation about the SD vs. the Cat already took place.


...and, yes, Dad... I do need to put the BB ECM back in and see how we run against one another... I'm pretty sure that you'll pull me after 130 (if not before). But, I am curious how bad it'll be. You DO have one heck of an aero advantage, which counts for a lot at those high speeds.

Ownd!

Ownd!

I bet I could get them to loan me one for a weekend, if I told 'em I was thinking about buying one... Then, I could meet-up with Felix.............

Oh, no! Nevermind! No way! Not gonna bring a Toyota home to my house!

Smart man. I thought we were gonna hafta take you out back and shoot ya.

Once you drive a tundra, theres no real hope for you left. Better to shoot you than let you die of shame.

Thinking back over the years, I'm not sure I've ever driven a Toyota ANYTHING.. I've driven a Dodge, some Nissans, a Chrysler, a few Fords, a few Lincolns, quite a few Cadillacs, 2 or 3 Acuras, a Jaguar, a '78 Anniversary Edition L82 Corvette.. and a few other things. But, I'm not remembering any Toyotas...

So, I guess I don't have to be taken out behind the barn just yet.
