yea those turbo diesel's can be wild, i raced a dodge and a F-250...the dodge and i got up to about 100 or so before he pussied out on me but i kept up w/him before that, idk if he was pedal to the medal or not, but i saw that nice puff of smoke...and the 250 was the same way, and all this from my 6, lol. heads up race they'd prolly win, but ya can't win if ya back off the gas!

The Dodge diesel trucks are inline 6cyl turbo's....but mad amounts of torque! Last weekend my buddy and i watched a Chevy 3500HD duramax on 20's with a dirt track car behind it on the trailer smoke the tires through 3rd gear. We dont know for sure what was done to it but it moved!!!! Might have been shooting propane.

Twice as fast as an 03 cobra? Thats BS if thats what your talking about. I could see a stock 03 cobra edging out a stock C5 ZO6..... If you mean a 01 cobra than sure the Z is alot faster but not TWICE as fast.....

I ran 2 of them and both outcomes were the same.....I pulled slowly each time. I dont know what you want me to say man? I can only tell you the truth about what happened.....If you dont believe me then whatever.

Im going tuesday to the 1/4 mile for the first pass on my current setup. I ran a 12.90 @ 109 with a ZEX 100 shot. The NX pulls MUCH harder than the old ZEX. Im talking about like a really big increase in power compared to it. I will be on street tire so I will not have any traction but im sure itll run at least a mid 12 if the tires hook decent. Ill post the timeslips. Yes the actual slips so there will be no more controversy.

Turbo diesel truck + Methanol injection kit at 60psi boost will be hard to beat, even with a 100 shot and slicks.

What your times?

6cyl turbo diesels have gone 7.98 at 167 MPH (1/4mile)
