That's a matter of opinion and I'll race my car on the road if there isn't anyone else around. Btw, there is no track around here. Thank you.

 

Nearest ones around here are close to 100 miles away makes for a nice day trip

 

Sooooooo much misinformation in here

The newest chevy 1500 has 315 hp and runs a 16.5. Thats pathetic. Most "newer" trucks are around that time with basically all of them not running any quicker than 15's.....and they shouldn't. There not race cars. Most have a tad over 300 HP and weigh 5000+ lbs. No performance vehicles by any means.

The 2010 dodge ram hemi runs a 15.7 1/4 mile and it has 390 hp. Again, that sucks because trucks were never designed to be race cars. They are meant for hauling. And anything with a diesel is going to weigh a CRAPLOAD more than 4500 lbs. Try more like 6000lbs. My freinds chevy extended cab 1500 4x4 weighs a tad over 5000lbs and it's gasoline......diesels are HEAVY engines.

I have never seen a truck besides an SRT10 or lightning that runs 13's stock!! Not even close to it.

Normally you can tell pretty quickly just by glancing over at what you raced.....and headphones while driving?

It sounds to me like you guys played cat and mouse until 140 mph and no actual race ever occured. This story just sounds like a recipe for disaster.....passing 3 cars, and passing each other until 140+ mph? I hope at least this was on the highway and not some single lane back road. And it's not a sports car with a truck body....it's a truck with a sports car engine. It's like trying to move a brick through the air, and they ussually fall on thier faces up top.

The highest HP version made 380 at the flywheel. Maybe 320 RWHP if your lucky. Again, building a truck to go fast is like the special olympics....even if you win, your still retarded. It takes basically twice the HP in a truck to do what a car can.

 

yeah man thats what i was saying

 

OK, gotcha....lol, I was gonna say....

 

I wouldn't say all that, when i had my stock 305 Tbi 60xxx miles my dad had a 1990 GMC pickup with a 350TBI 150xxx miles short bed pickup truck, me and my brother raced them from a dig and a 40mph roll stock for stock and i got my *** handed to me twice! LO3 VS LO5, truck vs car 170hp 250tq 210hp 300tq i don't know the weight of the two, however i did start pulling on him at around 90mph.



I will say this now that i think about it, I hade 2:73s at the time dad had 3:73s, that could have easily been the acceleration increase to give that truck the edge.

My point is anyone that has a 305 Tbi with 2:73 gears is about as fast as a modified 4 banger.

 

Well then that 60K mile 305 was hurting bad somehow. It's simple really. Weight and HP are 2 of the most important things to going fast. Gearing and all that plays a part too, but the power to weight ratio of the truck is 23 and the ratio of the camaro is 20. The camaro should go faster, period. That truck is rated at a low 17 second 1/4 mile. Your camaro is rated at a mid 15. Big difference.

I raced my freinds 95 1500 350 TBI short bed truck in my dads 99 ford ranger with a 4 cyl and a 5 speed and beat him. Those trucks are dogs stock.

 

I guess that 95 1500 was hurting real bad, because my little 305 ran great for what it was.

 

I'm sure his 180k mile 350 TBI wasn't like it was back in 95, thats for sure. But then again niether is the drivetrain on a 3rd gen now a days most of the time. By the 1/4 mile times, that race should have been given to the camaro. The auto trannys get real sloppy over time too though.

 

If i'm not mistaken don't a stock lo3 run high 16s in the quarter mile not 15s. And the 700r4 felt pretty strong at the time. And where you get your drag times see if that truck of yours had 3:73s.

 

Nope, motor trend back in an 88 issue I found got like a 15.6 or so out of a stock LO3 camaro. And most trucks are geared higher to get them going and for towing purposes. They either came in 3.73 or 3.42 I think. Most prob being 3.73.

 

15.6 in the quarter mile out of a stock L03 RSCamaro with stock tires? Hell no!

 

Motor trend got it......and I found a vid of an LO3 camaro on youtube with just a K&N filter going consistent 15.9's, and thats a tired 20+ year old engine as opposed to the new one motor trend had.
