Total BS period,i have a good friend with a hemi that has longtubes,catback,filter and the best he has ran is 15.09@89mph and with a 100 shot he ran 13.5@99 also i have seen many hemi's some stock and some modded at the track and they all ran between 15.20-15.70@86 so unless he was running a small 50-75 shot i don't buy it.

 

If you had a Hemi and it was known to run 15's, why even go to the track?

 

going to call for the wet suit here, no way a 'sligtly modded' rodge dam wif a heni put those numbers up . . . just like the time I raced a fellow FTW member and the timing equiptment called me the winner . . . it's an error . . . show some back up with that slip . . . come to VA and I'll not only race it with my Expy, but I'll get someone to do a video clip as well.

 

I can tell you I took my "daily driver" '99 F150 extra cab, 2-wheel drive 5.4 with a cap on it to the track: 16.4 @83. I ran twice against a guy in a short box, regular cab Hemi. 260HP vs. 345HP, yeah, right...

He beat me with a 16.3 both times, I think at 84 and 85mph. I took him through the 1/8th mile, then he'd catch up and just edge me at the end.

We chatted before and after each run. Needless to say he thought he'd be quicker, and I thought I'd be slower, but the facts are the facts.

My brother raced a guy at his work with his Silverado on the street: same situation, he took the guy slightly to about 70mph then the Hemi pulled ahead and they quit about 80mph. They did this twice, same thing.

 

how bout another?? :o :o

 

Sooo fractaldragon, if you had a Lightning and new it ran 13's, why goto the track?

 

Well, stock L's go low/mid 13's in the same cold weather your Dodge boy ran in. With his "lightly modded" setup it still wouldnt be a run. .5 seconds in the quarter is a hefty difference, but I'm sure you and all of the Dodge boys will be running in the 11's with stock SRT10's right?

 

Thats like saying a slighty modded L will run with a SRT-10 all day long.

I can make a pile of ***** run 12.0's in the quarter too.
