lol, I think I got the best. My girlfriend drives a 2500 cummins diesel but it's got 350k miles and the guy that owned it before her treated it like ****. You can seriously floor it and it will take about 10 seconds to go 0-30

Most of the vehicle I drive daily are high 14 second cars.. So the truck feels normal .. I drove my Brother's low 12's Mustang and it made my truck feel like a tank..
