Default Rumble Bees are a waste of gas and money

I raced a rumble bee on friday night. Needless to say they arent ****. The guy had exhaust and intake, I think he said a tune from superchips too.

First run was with no passengers. I ran a 16.8 and he ran a 17.1

2nd was with 1 passenger. I ran a 16.95 and he ran a 17.2

The track was up hill a little bit.

I did get eatin alive by a cummins, damn that thing had dual 4in from a 6in down pipe i think. It was awesome.

A friend of mine and cousin both have RC yellow 4x4 rumble bees. One ran his and got 15.72 15.71 and 15.44. It was also 60* outside. He was afraid it was gonna be a 16 sec truck. That night I ran my best time also.

I raced one yesterday Im pretty sure it was a EC(I put a hurtin on the old thinker for 10 years! ) and lets just say that they are POS. my best run N/A in 90 degree weather very humid is 15.8. They suck *** hell Dodge has more editions of the Ram than any car/truck that I can remember. Think about it there is about 10 of them!

What's up with those trucks, what's so special about them besides the appearance stuff?

I pulled up to an intersection near work a while back, and saw a yellow one with two younger looking guys in it on the road to my right. They were eyeing my truck, and the kid drove past me, he gave it a rowdy little squirt of gas. It sounded nice. I wanted to chase it down so bad but my light took forever...

Nothing is special about them at all except the label I think!
