01GT vs Dodge 5.9 Rt

01GT · 09-12-2005, 02:11 PM

I got to race one of those 5.9 RT trucks yesterday. I thought they were faster but I guess I should have taken into effect that it is a truck. We raced from a 60mph roll and he just had nothing for me I was disappointed. Well, just thought I would post what happened.

Anyone know what they run in the 1320?

stock? on drag times, it seems that theyre all running 14.8s or so..

what body style was it?

i dont think they can do much stock, but there are alot of them out there that are built, running into the low 13s and ive seen a couple running into the 11s...several blower kits are available.

He would of put a better fight up from a stop but theyre still no match for our car. Aerodynamics are not a trucks friend.

true...ive run on the highway with a 13 second diesel truck in my 15/16 second car and walked away from him at higher speed due to the aerodynamics...

you cant go wrong with that 5.9 though. just stay the hell away from the 5.2 worst engine ever

I have a 2002 R/T if anyone is interested in giving it a go in the Chicagoland area. Truck has a few minor mods,nothing big. I actually beat a 93-97 Z28,these trucks do get up and go
