I believe there is (or was) a site named turbominivan.com you can pick up those early dodge turbo vans, and with mods make them do 13-14's all day long or faster. why??? Now who wouldn't want to kick major ass in a minivan!!

Hi all. I'm hoping not to get flamed, as i've got an 03 dodge Hemi ram. However...I've also got a 6.0 2500 2006 4x4 silverado work truck (company issued) I've got an honest to god question that has been bugging me forever, and this seems the best forum for an answer. A while back, I was on my mustang board, bragging about my newly acquired slightly used hemi ram. I know the quarter mile times for it are around 15.1 stock. Well, a guy with a BONE STOCK 5.3L gmc truck states that he was doing 14.6 in the quarter. Problem is, this guy is EXTREMELY repitable....So, even though I didn't want to believe him, I kind of had to. Anyhow, I dismissed that until recently, when I had to take the 6.0 2500 into the shop for work. my work gave me a loaner truck, an 05 1500 5.3 4x4 silverado. This thing freaking screams. Not only has it got to be almost, or faster than my hemi ram, but It's got to be faster than the SS trucks too. which brings me to my next question....why is chevy sporting this 6.0 SS so called super truck that only does 15.0 or so in the quarter, when a lowly optioned 5.3 silverado can smoke the doors off that 6.0, and even smoke my hemi too??? This has been bugging me to NO END. Am I wrong?? Does this 5.3 feel faster than it is?? WHy did I spend the extra cash on a 345 horse hemi ram, and why did you all spend the cash on a 6.0 SS silverado, when we could have spent THOUSANDS less on a plain jain 5.3 1500 silverado that rips mid 14's all day long stock?? Finally, I'm a hard core car guy, so I know the truck is lighter, and that helps, but is that really all there is to it?? BTW, I know my 2500 is a heavy pig, but that 6.0L is a slow dog!
