Rt40, 2 lane road, at 3:30AM. Typical Dodge Ram (1999ish) 2500 Regular Cab 4x4 with the newer style tow mirrors flipped up like he's towing something. Came outta nowhere. He came up all loud and straight piped and we got on it. Took me a second to catch him, and a few more to pass him since he was already going faster then me. At the next light we it turned b4 we got there soo off the brakes we were and smokin away. There was a Semi ahead of me, so I tapped the brakes, dropped in behind him, then got ahead of the Semi and took him in the next lane. Next light we came to an almost complete stop and I could hear him hold the brakes while givin her gas so I did the same thing and COMPLETELY left him - at least put 5 truck lengths between us. While doing this I took a picture with my camera phone of his truck in my rear view mirror but forgot to save it

I tried getting him to come into the gas station with me by putting down the window and waving him on while putting my blinker on 300 feet early but he stayed behind me until I went to turn then he got on it lol. LOL SILLY dodge boys...

I guess he was a little embarassed. For some reason people who drive dodge's think that they are the best, but I am starting to notice a trend here in the kill stories

I'm not going to poop on your parade, nice kill. Those 99's even with a straight pipe and chip aren't rockets. But, Gregor what trend are you seeing? This is mainly a Ford forum and you're going to see PSD kills CTD stories on here. Go to a Cummins forum and it's the other way around, and same with a Duramax forum. The fact still remains that there are hundreds of 11 second and very many 10 second Cummins (and Duramax trucks) and some sub 10 second Cummins trucks while there are still no 7.3's or 6.0's that have run 10 second times.

Just saying that lately there seems to be more stories about cummins than the duramax. Don't get me wrong I know that there are plenty of trucks out there that are faster.

Not necessarily, if anything the Duramax is the engine that's been making some heads turn in the performance world as far as hp/tq numbers and quarter times.
