Lets do the math for this one, shall we?
Dodge Ram 3500 ST Quad Cab 8-ft. Bed 4WD is 6145lb / 8.0L 300 hp V10= 20.48(weight to power ratio)
Evolution 3263lbs / 271hp = ~12.0...
hmm lets see 12 is less than 20, so i'd say the Evo's got it... not to mention aerodynamics

lol ... some people are just dumb. I love screwing with turbo diesel trucks on the freeway on occassion. They think they own the road and are the f4stest ev4r. Slowly speed up to about 120 and watch them fade lol. I had fun with some honda that thought he was king daddy. After he cut in front of me I decided I wanted to go faster so he rode my ***. I just rolled into the throttle and by 138 he was like 14 football fields behind. I slowed to the speed limit and it took him awhile to catch up lol. Of course this is not in traffic, I wait for large openings without cars

Okay, dude...let say she can give you a run for the money...the best I think she can reasonably do is to go about head-to-head with your Evo given you don't miss shift or bog.....more importantly, you have to know that straight line acceleration was never intended to be the Evo's strongest suit in the first place simply because the Evo is not built as a drag car. It's just happen that Evo is also very very good at drag launch b/c of AWD, Big Turbo, i.e. good rally car. If there are any curves along the road...you would lose that Ram at your rear view mirror in no time. If it's wet, even better b/c that Ram wouldn't be able to move at all.
Most importantly, you should tell her to go back to her kitchen and don't even come out unless she is called upon for sex.

it needs to be straight line cuz thats where the trucks good at were not talking about owning her that hard lol. i have a chevy with a 4.8 v8 and its kinda fast but heres the main thing... ITS LIMITED TO 98 MPH!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!! every truck is easy because of that their, top speed is like 110 and from a 60 roll thats not very longa race. and all new chevys are limited to 98 so dont run from the cops in one lol.
