A Titan with those mods should be around a 14.5-14.6 in the 1/4 mile, so your mods really helped you out. Overall though, nice kill.

Some of those big trucks are actually pretty quick. Maybe not so much from a dig but I remember a 4 door Ram giving my buddys M3 a good run from a roll.

Either that Ram was modded, it was an SRT-10, or your friend was in 5th gear and just took off. A low 15 second truck isnt gonna hang with a mid to low 13 second car. Or was the M3 a pre 2000 model?

The M3 is a '99 auto vert all stock. The Ram was a '02+ V8 model. Not the I6 or the SRT. It was modded but I'm not sure what other than exaust. They both punched it from about 65 mph and the truck actually hung pretty well but the Beemer pulled on it and won but honostly not by much. Two people in the M3 and four people in the truck. I was surprised it did so well.

n/m...

I was going to say that racing a full quarter mile right around 100 mph, the 8 lenghts sounds about right to be a half second or so, and figure in mods he's probably capable of 13.7's or so...

BUT since he only ran to 70, disregard everything I said.

I work with a guy that took his Titan to the track justfor ****s and giggle and ran a 15.3 bone stock. This guy is a life long drag racer so He has the driver mod for sure but I agree a modded titan should be in the mid 14's.

305 hp. Idk man, if they can get that power out of a v6 than I reckon they ought to be able to squeeze that out of a v8 with way more displacement.
