So last night I was driving home when all of a sudden a gun metal Dodge Ram 1500 HEMI with some wheels did a fly by at me and was caught at the red light. I pulled up next to him at the light and he check out my car. He started to rev his truck and i also rev my car. I turned off my ESP and got my gears ready and was first holding the clutch down and reving it at about 3000-3500 RPM. And as soon as the light turned green i had a good launch at him and beat him about 1 1/2 car.
So i slowed down a bit and let him pull up on me at a 45 MPH roll having my gears 3rd i honked 3 times and me double clutching it off the roll pulled about half a car easy by the time i hit 5th gear i pulled on him bad and he decided to slow down and turn around. And that made my night and also killed about a quater of my gas which was funny....

Killed a quarter of your gas on that run? How? Were you below 1/8 of a tank to begin with, because anything more would be impossible.

According to this:

They run low 17's in the 1/4 mile. Don't think you should get too excited with yourself.
On the plus side, you did beat the "4X4 of the year"

So that maybe reduced his 1/4 time by .10 or .20 max. Still makes it a 16.90-17.00 vehicle that you just "killed"Originally Posted by importz_

Because bragging that you killed a 17 second pick-up truck is the equivalent of having sex with a fat chick. It's fun while it's happening, but you don't want anyone to know you did it.Originally Posted by russian_lawlz

I've got a Suzuki Samurai on my street that you can race too, if you want. You'll probably have to double clutch to beat that one too.
Hey, Ram 1500's are powerhouses................just the other day I beat up on a Geo Metro in my 1500 on the way to work!!! That wiped the smirk rite off his 45hp piloting face as I crawled by in my 5000lb work truck. LMFAO
Words for the OP to live by "it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile.............winnings winning". I also think you should take Benz-o-rama's advice and beat up on that Samurai as well.

Its nothing special yet.. im slowly building it.. Im looking into getting a 426 and supercharging it.. but for now I know ill out run a 320 or 350 for that matter...
Hemi's are pretty quick.. they just need some work done.
when I have money to burn, Im going to get an SRT and somehow get a 55k motor under the hood. Then Ill be happy with life.
