Thumbs up New Truck

Hey guys I never really hang out in the truck section but my neighbor just bought a huge truck. Its a Dodge 2500? With a lift kit and 42" tires im guessing but the cool thing is it has an 8.0 liter V10 in the damn thing. He recently asked me to detail it for him. Its all blacked out and MAN does that thing have some tourqe!!! I'm interested to see how well it could keep up if not beat me.

Uhh what?

How would a Dodge on 42" tires even with a V10 beat you?

Did I miss something?

me too

Your car runs a 12 i think thats what your sig said and you think that big *** turd can beat your car. Ill tell you this much I have taken out a few v10 dodges at stock height and I run a 15.1. It may have alot of low end torque but Im willing to bet its like most dodge engines they run out of breath up top.
