Young Mr Stewart, considering you don't even have a drivers license and you
talk more trash than anyone I have ever seen, you need to sit back and
ingest the truth, whether you like it or not... The 4.7 is a kickass motor,
like it or not. It is true about Duner running 14.61 completely stock on his
CC R/T, I have no idea about the guy runnin 14.51 as I don't have to keep up
with the "moarchat" or is that MoparChat for the literate? Anyhoo, the 4.7
RC 5spd will run 14's easy,. not so easy for an R/T to do in the same
configuration (with the auto of course). Considering your truck is still
runnin 15's and is modded, you really oughtta watch what you say. As the
aftermarket keeps growing for the 4.7, look out!

And I do happen to know Mr. Ekstrand personally, and he is an excellent guy
to hang out and shoot the breeze with. And as far as your "Just the facts
Ma'am" comment, you need to grow up and realize that you are not as "cool"
as you think.

The guy who supposedly ran it posted all the info from his run on
moarchat.com. The second fastest one I know of ran 14.61. This was run by
Duner of the DRTC, any member of the DRTC can confirm that one.

Just the facts Ma'am.
