zanis520 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 id do some research on the car first, if its a serious bet and you're gonna have to fork over some cash. what kind of numbers is the car puttin up? i know that you're RWD and not awd so if i were you id make sure i was pretty confident first before racing. diesels have turbo lag as well though, so i dunno.

06redSSrwd Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 i'm gonna do it, but he's gonna make a serious bet i guess it'll make it all that much better. I'm gonna look up some 0-60 stats. it should be fun. ES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06redSSrwd Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 well from doing some research just now i'm reading a 6.5-6.8 seconds for 0-60mph for the mercedes diesel. and for my truck i'm reading anywhere from 5.7 to 6.3 seconds so it'll be close. i better not mess up on the jump from the line . i'm also not stock so that may help too. should be a really good race though. let me know if you get any info on the factory 0-60 of our trucks that is different from what i got ES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 if those 0-60 are for the awd's then yours isnt going to be quite that fast off the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
