[QUOTE="Saltydawg, post: 157477, member: 2944"] When I run quartermiles I'm doing it in this: [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/Saltydawg/vette4.jpg]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/ ... vette4.jpg[/url] (yes thats my ugly mug in the picture) I've got a 79 Ford 1Ton I've worked over a bit that I'll hook bumper to bumper against anything that comes off the dealer lot :). (460 with an Accel fuel injection setup and a modified paxton blower) My newest project is a 74 Chevy I hauled up from North Carolina (clean as whistle). I've got a 454 sitting out back in a run down old chevy supercab dually. I'll see about getting some internet worthy pictures of my trucks...all I have is a bunch of polaroids at the moment. I'm willing to bet Norriscathy has towed a couple things with their Ford V-10 and was quite happy with its performance...which is why the question about what makes diesels so much "better". I can bash Diamond and Flaboy over the head with engineering books and formulas all day long and they will still think their diesels are the greatest things on the planet...for one reason or another :). Norriscathy just remember they are comparing their turbocharged diesels with your normally aspirated V-10. Slap a turbo on your V-10 to even the score up and watch the diesel guys start telling you how much better their durability and fuel efficiency is :). Oh and I still don't believe an 8200lb truck does 11 seconds in a quartermile with only 550hp hehe. Physics says its not possible. I have a buddy who swears to god he broke 160 mph in his stock Pontiac GTO and still had some pedal left. Course he dont have the car anymore so can't prove it :). [/QUOTE]
