500 hp doesn't move you too fast when you have 6k lbs to haul lol. That f350 pulling 11.45 or whatever has a lot more than 500hp that's all I know. I know what your going to say,.... but but 1000 ft lbs of torque. We all no what all torque and no hp gets you. My car has more than 500hp and only weighs 3200 lbs and I could clip off the same time with a slightly better launch, but common he has waaaay more than 500hp. I would say 500 hp is good enough for 13s in one of those.

Off-Road magazine did a feature on that truck a few months back. He also has a 7k+ pound truck and 37" tires that he is turning down the track, I would hope an Evo could do better with less power. The Dodge in question in this thread would get served by a stock Evo, my point was not to assume that every truck out there is slow.

I bet she has a nice NO FEAR sticker across the windshield too right?? Go race her and then get her to make you a sandwich while spanking her. She'll never get out of line again, I promise

Her truck probally weighs as much as a 60FT bolder! 5000+LBS = EXTREME SLOWNESS
