Default the battle, Hemi vs 5.3

had a quick little race last night with my new 07 Sierra CC 4x4, against a 03 or 04 Dodge CC 4x4, he's a friend of mine,

first race from 10 the hemi outpowered me, pulled a truck or a little more when we let off at 3rd gear shift,
then from 25 it was neck and neck, once again till 3rd gear shift
both vehicles stock, man its funny racing something this slow, you can actually just sit there and wave while moving along, change radio stations and everything.. lol

then when we go race our regular cabs, the race is over before you know it.

I use to have an 05' GMC escb 5.3, with a flowcrapper, hypertech, and 20's. My buddy had a QC hemi with a K&N intake, 17's and a flowmaster. We raced three times. We were pretty much dead even until the third race. His tranny was heating up, so I beat him by 1/2 truck lenth at 100mph. I never thought my GMC would stay up with him, but it did. I think the hypertech helped, because I programmed the shift points and speed limiter to wind out farther.

And I think Chevy's are ugly, but hey that's just my opinion as is yours.
