My Daily driver is a '02 Durango with the 5.2L V8. I raced my friend in his '88 Camaro 305 with it and took him off the line and held my own til about 60MPH when he finally started to reel me in. Not a fast truck but all that torque really helps it off the line. I mess around with rice burners all the time in it and just take them off the line. Most people i race just sit there spinning and that's where i get a big lead and they play catch-up. ANy decent car should be able to make it up easy, but we all know about the tons of 17 sec hondas and misc running around.
Not trying to say it's fast. That's what the Mustang is for, but just funny how you labeled it a slouch when it really does move for a big truck.

All I know is my GF's Blazer is freakin slow.

No ,but I get alot of those morons with late model pick-ups that have installed a fiberglass ram-air hood, dual exhaust,and a bunch of NASCAR and SKI-DOO stickers and they think all of the sudden they've got a quick machine on their hands Originally posted by FLYNLOW92rs

Gotta watch those SUV's some are fast. A Tahoe with a 350, I think it was a 98 or newer, had those newer headlights, was at the track and was spraying. It ran an 8.3 in the 1/8
Even the Mustang guys gave him some respect after that!!

There's some of those guys around here too. My uncle's friend has a blue GMC with dual exhaust and hood and he's got the polaris sticker that covers the whole rear window.Originally posted by SOLID LIFTER

50hp???? That doesn't do anything for you. You can at least run a 100hp shot with no problems. My brother runs a 150 shot on his 91 Z28 with 160,000 miles. A V8 can take a 150 shot all day easily. Originally posted by FLYNLOW92rs

4 cyl.---50hp shot
6cyl.----75hp shot

After I thought about it I think your right about him having a Z24 confussed for an import. Again Im sorry about that.
