I would say he did give a damn, The knuckle prints in his dash where he was bashing on it after his run would be a pretty good indicator that he wasn't sand-baggin!
awesome! i love when a big dually farm truck beets a sleek little sports car.
@thetravdawg It most certainly did 'put the whoop ass on the Corvette". It may have only won by a fraction of a second, but it did it with a frontal area the size of a barn, twice the weight to haul down the track and with 2 fewer gears in a slushbox....pretty damned impressive, i say.
There is a 2003 dodge cummins dually with dual stacks that runs high 11's its badass!
Now be nice, It was at Bandimere Speedway a mile above Sea Level. :)
@Baddaxx yes because they were 5,820 feet about sea level, plus the DA could make it seem like it is equal to being at 6k,7k, or even 8k above sea level
MMMMMM CUMMMINS =]]]
for sure. looked like a z06 too with that side skirt. probably daddys car or something.
Sounds like someone knows what he's talking about. thanks for the comment.
@TEXASduramax - I would love to see that!
@7150285 I agree. If they were running along a long course I do think the vette would have the advantage. In the 1/4 the diesel trucks torque curve really gives them the advantage; More torque at lower revs plus you've got the turbo spooling away under there.
I agree. defintley not "whoop ass", and Matt's dodge wasn't stock. But an interesting pairing never the less.
a heavily modified truck weighing easily twice as much as that car producing probably the same amount of HP... but producing way more torque than a gasoline motor can ever produce. Don't get your panties in a bunch. The guy with the vette wanted to race. If he didn't he would have just backed out. You race what you bring isn't that correct? Just respect the truck for winning.. and respect the driver of the vette for knowing he was probably going to loose. :P
I am not sure exactly, but I know it had a Hoset turbo, ATS transmission/ torque converter. ATS Coommander/Copilot and a few other cool ATS goodies.
That is a C5 Z06 too btw
This was at Bandimere Speedway Elev: 5820 Altitude does make a difference.
@thetravdawg A win is a win, even if it was by half an inch.
dodge is the beast..... unstoppable
Matt's Dodge is a 24.
