powerstroke-2 cummins-1

*puts on flame suit*

So this blue Dodge truck is behind me, just tail gating me for a good while. Well, we finally get on the local 2 lane highway, and no one was on it really, very minimal traffic. He switches lanes fast and gets up beside me, I look over and noticed its a quad cab 2500 cummins short bed. I grinned and punched, so did he (I could hear his truck over mine ) we raced well over 85 (dont know how fast, my speedo only goes to 85) and he stopped, I got him by about 3/4 truck length.

I slow down, we line up again, he got the jump, I punch it, and yet again I pull on him but only won by about 1/3 a truck length.

thrid run, we punch it, and I of course was pulling, and then a RV had pulled on to the highway a bit up ahead in the dodges lane, so I slow down to about 80ish and I thought the dodge would do the same till we passed the RV....WRONG, the doofus speed by between me and the RV, nearly freaking hitting both of us

I pull up to him and give him the and he just shruged and grinned as if he was saying "what? "

fourth run, just like before, he got the jump, but this time he got about 1/3 turck length on me (by this time my foot was shaking so bad from earlier I couldnt control it :ian: )

So then I exited and his passenger was kind enough to flip me the bird cause I pass up my exit to keep racing them

Street racing? In a diesel? Reminds me of when I matched up against that Chevy wagon in mom's Country Squire...... (327 2BBL so they claimed out ran our 390 2BBL.) Oh, the humiliation.......

the cummins will take a ford off the line anyday of the week, but they have no top end.
