You musta bought whatever he was sellin' hook, line and sinker.
Don't know what ET calculator you are using, but we're talking truck
here......Read: traction impaired.
That mph in that heavy a truck means the 700-730 you are quoting is RWHP.
Sorry, ain't gonna get that with bolt-ons. A Viper hooks a whole bunch
different than a truck so those comparisons don't mean much. Show me a N/A
Viper with 700+ rwhp that isn't HEAVILY modified including big $$$$ heads
and cam change. Barely streetable. I kinda doubt some run-of-the-mill rep in
the middle of nowhere Texas would be driving such a beast around or that
such a project truck wouldn't have been seen somewhere else already.
You can always prove me wrong easy enough. Camcorder at the strip to
document it.....case closed. I would think the rep would be more than happy
to prove he's not blowing smoke up your arse.....but that's assuming he's
not. He's probably carrying the slicks around in the back, right?
:-)
11.8 maybe....130 mph, not likely

BTW: At 5200 lbs, that would take about 700-730HP. Look at the Viper
motors and the additions available (naturally aspirated at that) and
you'll understand.

5,000 lb. truck, 130 mph trap speed???......Somebody needs to stop
sniffing glue.
Unless that had a screaming Paxton or Vortech on top of a well-built
V10, no way Jose.
