On my way back from lunch today, sitting at a light. Dimly aware that there was a chevy 2500 dually next to me. Light turned green and I was smothered in diesel exhaust as he nailed it. He got 3/4 length on me as I reacted, then I started to reel him in. As I pulled even at about 70mph he backed off. Caught the next light red and I left him from the line. No contest.

C'mon - a dually????

 

hey, i like to scare the sh*t out of LS1 f-body's with my old service truck. diesel's car be really damn quick with not a lot into them.

 

so the dually smoke you both literally and figuratively!

 

I think if a cop had been around the only citation would have been for pollution!

 

never seen a 3/4 ton dually before

But for serious... you gotta watch out for these trucks now, the cheby variety especially. 1.5lofFury has one, that he mentioned, that would leave that pretty 5-0 behind.... if you got caught sleeping and/or spinning that is. Search his threads, for his times AND for a pic of the truck.... you would be HIGHLY surprised

 

I figured he was running about a million ft/lbs of torque - he was quick off the line. But he wasn't 5.0 quick

BTW, meant 3500 not 2500. Fat fingers.

 

it's gonna be even worse soon. bigger turbo and dual CP3's... should be able to start pushing 650-700whp and around 1300-1400rwtq

 

Thats just dumb.... lol

OP... just goes to show.... ALWAYS someone faster out there, just takes "a little" bit o $$

 

Actually, once I figured out the race was on, I had him - as the even start at the next light proved. I never in a million years thought a guy in a truck would want to race...

 

we have a 2500 chevy truck here that runs low 8's in the 1/8 with just a bullydog system. he hurts alot of people's feelings.
