I frequent the Dodge Dakota forums as well as the Mustangs forums (Mustangs will always be my favorite). I keep reading about these guys driving dodge Dakotas and RAM trucks who are "constantly" beating mustangs in races (on the track and off). Some of these guys have decent work done to the truck so I can see them possibly beating a stock Mustang. Most of these guys say they slapped on a K&N and then beat the stangs. I drive my Dakota and I've driven several 5.0s, my Dakota will never beat a maintained V8 mustang.
These guys are saying that they basically beat any mustang on the street (I imagine they are talking the newer 85 and up models).
Has anyone here been up against these guys? How it go? Has anyone seen a Dodge wil a 4.7L, 5.2L 5.9L, or Hemi race a mustang?
I'm just curious,I think these guys are 99.9% full of feces and that the friend of a friend that they all know is one guy with a seriously modified engine (They all seem to claim low 11's high 10's at the track). I wish my truck could do that...funny I have basically the same mods as most of them and I'm nowhere near a 12-13s 1/4 mile.
