Theoretical drag race
 

My brother-in-law keeps jokingly asking when we are going to race. He thinks his vehicle will beat my 370 in a flat out quarter mile run.

His vehicle: 2005ish GMC 2500 turbodiesel with a "chip".

Sounds far fetched to me, but what do I know about diesels modded with "chips"?

Thoughts??

faster than u think...my friend has a 2500 turbodiesel with a chip and it can run but u will come around on the top end easily. also depending on what levels hes running on

Tell your brother-in law to stop sniffing his exhaust and stay away from the truck shows. Joking of course!

Those diesel truck when chipped make crazy amounts of torque. I'm certainly not an expert, but he very well could take the Z.

Theoretical Questions only get Theoretical Answers.

Of course, but that's what makes bench racing so fun!

Funny Answer :iagree:

did you watch the video? those trucks are crazy.

Yea talk about Torque Monsters!

Ive seen some of thoses trucks run mid 13's in the quarter.. but i dont know what all was done to them. I just know they put out alota black smoke and they where gooone.

I've seen 2500 do 10's.

Just for a laugh

LOL. Well this is interesting. He may actually be able to do it. Funny thing is I've driven his truck (though granted never just put it on the floor), and it didn't seem overly fast.

I guess some of those diesels are faster than I gave them credit for. Until you need to take a turn.....

No matter whose is faster I would still deem you the winner for not driving an old GMC diesel truck...

a few years ago I did something simular with my 04 mach1...i went up against a turbo diesel F350 Harley Davidson...damn quick for a huge diesel...

He manage to stay right beside me off the bat for a few seconds, then I started to pull away slowly...you will take em on the top end as mentioned above (theorectically ofcourse). When we both finally let off, I only had him by about two car lengths...The 370z turns about 2/10s quicker quarter mile than the mach1...
