ON the straight course maybe but be careful on SALOOM type roads. I had a
race with a Vetter C-5 and embarrassed him on corners with the little Swift
Gti not a Dakota, S-turns and so on but on the straight that damn torque is
there...but wait until the SRT-10 (LOL).

That's awesome, I love it when people are trying to race me and I'm just
driving normally...and still beating them lol Gotta love these trucks :) I
have a friend at work who has a 2001 Corvette, and he keeps telling me he
wants to race, I told him next summer he'll get his race, I just hope he's
ready to have his $50K Vette lose to a $30K Dakota (cost of truck and mods
by that time).
