Trucks (especially turbo diesels) are slow. They aren't designed for being fast sports cars lol. They tow shit. If you don't mind I can share a story....
I was out at a place, and there was this NISMO modded 350z talking smack about my Jetta, and he wanted to run for money, but I don't run for money, just for kicks and giggles, so he's down now and for the sake of laziness, I got him once out of 3 times... The other two times he got me by 1 car... The last time was the perfect speed in my 1st gear and I pulled out on him a little and he never passed. Anyway, we get back and his buddys want me to run some flawless looking old-school muscle Charger. I'm like "Fuk That!" So this guy in a lifted ass Dodge turbo diesel starts talking smack and saying his trucks hella fast and he goes, "Dude, i'll give you 5 car lengths head start..." And I reply with a grin, "and never catch back up!" and then he goes, "oh, he doesn't know diesels then.." (BTW, he's got a ton of mods; like ECU tuning, etc.) And then I tell i'll run HIM for money, and he back down saying "my trucks not warmed up..." So then 2 minutes later he leaves, and whatyu know? He guns it out of the parking lot.... What a loser pants.
Sure, diesel trucks may put down impressive numbers and FEEL fast, but what they don't get, is that they AREN'T fast. Hell, my Jetta could keep up with if not beat a Dodge SRT-10 Ram Pickup....
