Default dont underestimate f-250's!

some guy in an f-250 (diesel i suppose) challenged me on my way to get gas so i decided to play around and to my suprise he pulled on me slightly. Sounded like he had an aftermarket exhaust and im sure a tune of some sort. Then later down on the road we got at it again, if we hit the gas at the same time it probably would have been even, but my car was taking its time downshifting. And yes i was careful so no need to tell me off.

I got taken by a Dogde Truck. Can't remember what it was (think it was a diesel). But the engine on that beast was so loud, I heard it over my stereo.

my moms dually (duramax diesel) runs 13's... 400hp, 787ft/lbs lol

powerstrokes (ford) run full boost at idle, so when they pin it , they are already at the finsih line lol no turbo lag(you owuld never be able to run full boost at idle on a gas motor, only diesel.
