Compared to the competition, though, I was far and away the fastest. It's 1/4
mile was a full 1.2 seconds faster than the second place truck, the sonoma.
Their times were 16.17 vs 17.38. This was also without any dealer added mods.
As a starting point, I sure wouldn't mind, but it's not too hard to get a 5.2
up to those numbers.
