long story short, i raced my girlfriend in her RCSB 4WD 5.3 chev with my '14 CCLB Sport and was side by side with her from 60-140.

im thinking its cause of my weight compared to hers.

i also raced her brothers ecoboost crew cab off a dig 0-100 and had him by 2 truck lengths

I'd say the race with your girlfriend was yes weight but could also be gearing too...

Gearing/wheel size and weight is what kept ya from blowing her out of the water.

Before I'm going to blame it on gears and or tranny,
I'd like to know what exactly you have.

Are you talking kilometers or miles per hour?

Then it's definitely the weight difference! tell her to put 2 - 400 lbs in her bed and see who pulls away from whom!

Just weighed my rcsb 4x4 on a cattle scale (so dead accurate, international shipping) and with a full tank of gas along with a one piece fiberglass tonneau (approx 150lbs which is included in the 5240) I would think he has more than 400lbs on the girly girl.:favorites13: Being just N.W of his hometown I would love to see the outcome with my Hemified rcsb 4x4. Bet I wins

My CCSB 4x4 sits right at 6,000lb. Your LB could/should be slightly more.
What year is her truck? Those new GM drivetrains are CRAZY efficient; they are rated at less than ours but dyno measurably higher.
Pre-'14 5.3 are an embrassment, and you need to learn to drive :p

Why not 140 mph? I know that mine has seen just the other side of 140 when playing with an RT Charger :naughty:

Also, minor upgrades will have you smoking that Chebby. A guy at my job has a 14 quad cab and it was not even a race. With 3.92 gears and the 8speed, I wouldnt think it would close anyway?

What year chevy? The 09+ with the speeds are faster than the old 4 speed 4L60 but the stock TQ management with the 6 speed is atrocious

Then the 14+ have more power also.

Yeah I knew I was probably a bit low on my estimate but if they were side by side with his extra weight then 200 - 400 lbs in the back of her's he'd surely pull her...

her dad gave me a crazy look when i told him about it. he thought i shouldve smoked her.

and 140 isnt even fast. speed limit was 110 and everyone goes 125 on that road

i also had a full tank of gas and 100lbs in the bed
