So I was feeling Evil on the way home from Work today....
I was heading home today and as I cam to a country road I take home everyday I see a silver Tundra 5.7 with loud exhaust. He pulls a right turn and floors it and spins his tires and I turn left about 300 ft behind him and I give it half throttle or and I catch up to him. He kept speeding up and slowing down which really irritated me so after following him for a mile or two I decide to pass him. I know the guy is going to go, so I rev match and downshift to third and I feed it down to the floor and from 60-112 or so I put several buslengths on him. Dude was probably like WTF was the silver thing. I passed him so fast I doubt he could even read my ss badges.

Nice,I HATE people who can't go a steady speed,bet he didn't expect all that.I will say for a truck thats not meant to be fast[like a lightning,srt10,etc],they go pretty damn good.Toyota should put the 5.7 in a smallish rwd car.

Besides the SRT-10 Ram, it is the fastest N/A truck around these days. The 5.7 is a DOHC v8 that puts out 375hp and 400tq. I believe they are mid 14 second trucks in the 1/4 mile, and I'm sure they respond really well to mods.

Exactly!! The one I've seen run was a 4dr extended cab 4x4 and it ran like a 14.6-14.7. So I'm sure the regular cab non 4x4's are a couple tenths faster. Very nice truck, but they are kinda expensive, well they were when they first came out.

I got beside one at the dragstrip last year on a cool night, and he looked over and snickered at me.
I beat him, but not by much, he was running 14.1 @ 99 to my 14.0 @ 104

well the new 5.7l ram is around 390 hp and the chevy is at even more. The deisel's put down way more impressive numbers from the rams/350's/duramaxs. They can become beast, but also cost 50,000 +++ brand new. I was cruising by the ford dealership today. One ford f350 with like a 9 inch lift, was 92,000 HOLY ****. it was huge though.

Leave it in gear and just go, the computer can shift faster than you can when you try shifting it yourself.
