Uhhh...he never said he shifts at 1700 rpm's in every gear.



When I baby mine i can get 21 hwy mpg. I have a few goodies that doesn't require the motor to work as hard to get up to speed though.

no i drove like that for a little bit, but ive driven a standard forever

i shift between 2200 and 3000 rpms

i figured it up and thats the most economical way to drive these trucks

and as far as off the line theres not 1 in 300 people at my school that can take me

i shift 2 mph b4 the rev limiter when im racing
(about once every 2 months)

the fastest guy at my school has a mustang GT and he doesnt race that much.

My truck is smaller than yours and im pretty sure i couldn't take anyone, especially bone stock. Nobody drives nice cars at my school and i still couldn't race anyone.



Just saying.

i highly doubt you can beat everyone at your school with this truck. these trucks are heavy and really dont have a ton off power for racing(pulling is a different story). i mean a 4cyl car can beat me off the line until around 60mph. 2nd these trucks way a ton and take a lot of power to get them moving.

iam not saying that you a liar but giving to curcumstances i think you are being alittle unrealizic.
