I don't think that's the intent of most of the people here. For the most
part, it's done in a good natured way. After all, some DMLers own Fords and
Chevys. There's atleast one guy with a Z28 and another with a Mustang that
judging by its mods is capable of atleast 12's in the quarter. I've never
heard them complain once about feeling picked on, and since their cars
(atleast the Mustang) are probably faster than most if not all of the Daks
here, if there were any real picking to be done it is their's to do on us.

It's not a question of proving anything about my truck or about myself, for
that matter. It's a question of measuring just how much my truck has
improved since I got it. The best way to measure that is against other
vehicles, especially sports cars like the Mustang and Z28. A truck is at a
serious disadvantage racing a sports car. Poor aerodynamics, greater
weight,
and less aftermarket support all handicap our Daks in comparison to the
above
two cars. When one of our trucks runs with or beats a "sports" car it's a
victory for all Dakota kind. It gives us something to shoot for, and for me
atleast, it's fun, win or loose.
