So as luck would have it I ran into a white 2014 LTZ Chev.
he was driving rather aggressively so I intended to catch him at a light, and did. I don't get too many races at all, this would be like my 4th ever in this truck in 2-3 years.
2014 Chev w/ 6.2 makes 420 hp, and 440tq I believe *corrections??) So I figured it should actually be pretty close.
Light goes green (rough intersection) I think I caught a better light than he did, shifter into second perhaps a touch early with the slap stick, and he's pretty close, at my rear tire I would place him. Hit second and jump about another half length. Didn't wind second out completely. Maybe 70-80%
Shut it down there as speeds are getting pretty good.
Considering my mods (which are actually pretty light) and him being what I assume was stock, I say he held pretty good for an ext. cab.
now Im still trying to figure out how quick my truck actually is versus the rest of the world. Id say its quick, but not fast. Quick for a truck I assume. Id like to run against something like a Tremor (ran a 6.2 raptor, it was ugly for him) which is supposedly a 14.3-5 truck according to what I see online. Which theoretically should put me a length in front of him or so based on my ol trinity readout (14.1 @ 97.5 uncorrected) however reliable that is.
theres likely a bunch of new stock trucks that could hang or beat me. New 8 speed rams, maybe an ecoboost (though, I doubt it if a tremor possibly couldn't, the your run of the mill FX4 probably couldn't). I just wanna gauge what I can actually run with. Hell, for all I know an accord could outrun me haha
Was bored...so just posted for the hell of it.
