so im working late, about 2:30, with my buddy on my exhaust in his machine shop one night, we're tired as hell so i figure theres only a few more welds ill just leave my pipes here, head home and finish them up the next day. so i help him lock up and head out. so having st8 headers you can imagine how damn loud my old lil 5 was, so trying to keep a low key i cruse home in high gear so as not to alert the bacon.
now im about 12 blocks from my house, almost in the middle of downtown when some cowboy in a diesel ass ram pickup pulls up next to me, the friggen wheels are up to the top of my car, gig smoke stacks out the top, its just a beast. so i guess hearing my non-muffled car he thought i had some power under the hood, so he gave some regulation hollers and revs and i thought hey, what the hell, hardly anyone out, some friendly racing, what'll it hurt?
so the lights turning yellow, and were tromping gas, theres smoke pouring out the top of his exhaust and then green, i drop the clutch my tires are screaming at the top of there half bald little lungs and there just noise bouncing off everything and im hanging with him and in about 3seconds i see some cherries rip out the the side of my mirror right behind me so i panic and let off the gas and pull off the side of the street ready for my bacon beat-down and the cop zips by me and goes right after the truck who was way ahead of me by now.
and thats the end. true story

Was it a Turbo Diesel or just NA?




I've seen some pretty ridiculous turbo dodge trucks, too bad they sound like an elephant with bad gas.

all the smoke would say yes but he didnt really smoke me so..?
mabe just got the biggest k&N filter he could find, cause those things add like a bajillion Hp.
haha

yea i had a friend who own'd a 3500 cummings turbo diesel and that thing would eat peices of street. haha
i love trucks tho. getting one once i move out to TX.

I've never run a Cummins, but I ran a guy with a relatively new high-boost turbodiesel Silverado. I only pulled him by about a car from 50-120. It's amazing how fast some of them are. From a dig, I would have gotten owned. I'm pretty sure I have videos of two of the runs at home.

haha, yea there beasts alright.
i expesaly like semis :] considering something thats about 5x the weight of a drag car can run 14's an 12's
