1stdodge Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 If they are any fast ones in north Alabama tell them to give me a call. I have a petty tailgate they need to see. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are there any fast ones at ALL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bseen Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 But I really do have a petty tailgate. But its stays at home when I go to the track. Keeping the truck a secret, so when it is on the street no one knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOK Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Guys, as another SS fan and Titan owner I have a couple of comments to make here regarding the Titans performance. The SS really appealed to me, and when I first started truck shopping I gave it a look (I lurked here a while without posting -look at my profile). I realized my suspicions that as a more street oriented truck, it wasn't going to suit my needs so I looked at the standard Silverado 4x4. After test driving the 5.3 Silverado, I test drove a 4x4 Titan. I preferred the Titans power and interior, and that's what I wound up buying. Everyone loves their trucks, me included, but I try to stay unbiased about the qualities of each vehicle. One thing I don't see said in any of these slamming threads is that Nissan has made a very impressive first effort. The Titan will give the Silverado SS a pertty good run. The SS may come out on top more times than not, but considering Nissan has not even made a high performance version of the Titan, I think they deserve props. The lowest 2wd XE King Cab model gets the same 305 horse 379lb ft. engine as the LE Crew Cab. Thats a cool thing in my book. I wish we had the Chevy's aftermarket support, but maybe in time. Since I also get a low range and ability to use the truck offroad in my Crew Cab, I'm still OK with my choice of the Titan over the SS. There is a Nismo Titan in the works that should be much more comparable to the Silverado SS. These are good times for truck buyers! I like both trucks a lot, and if you line up next to a blacked out Crew Cab Titan in eastern PA, I'll give you my best run and accept defeat with a thumbs up if thats how it goes.

misterp Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 ... One thing I don't see said in any of these slamming threads is that Nissan has made a very impressive first effort. ... First welcome to the forum To the point - we're not bashing on the Titan product, just having a laugh at these specific Titan ...enthusiasts and their blatant display of *denial*. A bit more maturity in that clique of Titan owners would reflect a bit better on them (some hemi owners too). You're right about the success of Nissan's first light truck effort. I am not a fan of the Titan product (sorry) but I do agree that in the light truck market they are now poised to do well against the other truck manufacturers. It is good to see a successful new vehicle and a fresh departure. Where I see Nissan causing trouble is over-billing the Titan as any kind of performance vehicle, it's not (just like the Hemi Rams); it's a fine enough truck but needs more to be the world beater they advertise it to be. Mr. P. One more thing - I agree with you that when Nissan gets more aftermarket support for their V8s the performance scene will change; I think it's only a matter of time.

misterp Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 t=27418&highlight=spare+baja]titan engine picsssssss[/url] My Gawd - I take back my Nissan Aftermarket performance comment - can you imagine how expensive it will be to build a DOHC for a 5000-lb truck? Sure you can get 400+ peak hp out of it, but I am betting the bottom-end grunt would be lost. Four cams + timing chains + biatch to degree in. I'll just stick with the pushrod V8 Mr. P.

TOK Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 The 5.6/5 speed auto is pretty robust, not actually needing much work for competition. http://www.off-road.com/nissan/features/04baja1000/ These guys took a first year Titan, stock engine and trans with addition of trans cooler and finished second in class with a first year Titan. Even the sheet metal and wheels were stock on it. They added a roll cage, fuel cell and some other stuff on a $20,000 budget. Interesting comment about losing torque. Is that an issue in a Baja Truck? They do minimal low speed/technical stuff. Sustained higher RPM is what it's about, so having the fat part of the torque/HP curve at 3500-6500 RPM isn't a disadvantage. They'd overcome it anyway... Look how Nextel Cup teams have taken the torquey, lower revving pushrod V8 and made it last for 3 hours at 9000 RPM. Smart guys always adapt.

Hemi4Me Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Those Titans are not bad trucks, they are a little beefy but a stock SS vrs a stock Titan, the SS will take it even a stock Silverado with a 5.3L can take it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not so sure a STOCK 5.3 will take it. Most of your slightly modded Titans run anywhere from 15.0 to 15.3 seconds. I am Talking about the lighter 4X2 KC version. Don't see stock 5.3L (especially the ones that are a few years old) running those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
