I figured that with about the same hp and 40 more TQ they would be a good race.
I guess I'm not quite stock, but not far from.
He had a stock tailpipe, that's all I could tell.

It's always fun to find someone else with the ***** to race, even when the road was curvy and had some traffic.
Whether I win or lose races, and a .
Those guys are like you and me, and noone has the fastest truck.

To date I think mine was the only one to run a 15.1 bone stock. Most are running 15.4-15.8 here in Houston in stock trim.
I think the "great gearing" he was referring to were those inside the transmission. It helps them run 0-60 quicker than many other full size pickups.

Your TITAN? That's evidently what he was talking about. I've never seen a Titan run quicker than 15.1, so I don't know what's quick or slow for them.

Yah inside the transmission, the fact that they have an extra gear before going to a 1 to 1 ratio really helps them out.

If you know where a RCSB titan is, send me the pic.

I see you have the invincible 03 Hemi year model. I have yet to see any other year Hemi truck run as well as that one year. I never had a problem with any QC Hemis here in Houston, stock on stock. But that means about squat. The TMR mod sure is nice.

their rear end gering is good too u might say 3.36 is crap but that in a 5 speed equals a 3.92-4.10 in a 4 speed gear box.

TBO I don't think he was racing you. You would have been beaten. I think he was in a hurry to get somewhere and there was a lot of trafffic. If you are following the guy it is MUCH easier to follow and catch up intead of leading the way and carving through traffic. Maybe the guy was out of his comfort zone in the traffic. If you're in Miami Florida I have a Titan LE BT CC if you want a taste. But none of this starting at 70mph sneak up and follow me BS. lol.

The road is pretty curvy and traffic is kinda thick, so I maintain my distance until he has to slow down a bit.

So I'm about 1 1/2 lengths behind him, we're going 60 waiting for an opening on this 4 lane racetrack. He gets a little room and floors it, then I do. We are racing through traffic, (sketchy). 70, he's not gaining at all, 80 I am gaining on him, 90 I'm closing in, 100 I'm too close to him, 110 I'm on his bumper, soon after we hit the brakes hard due to traffic.

He wouldn't even look over at me as I passed him a little later.

What a great drive to work!

Info somewhere says they do a 14.2 1/4 mi. Must be the 2wd. My truck can't be that fast.
