My thoughts exactly. Must be that crowd the loves to blow black smoke taking off from a traffic light to see who can get to the next red light the fastest.

That's me!
How'd you know??

Half of what keeps me in my 07 is the ability to roll coal like a Boss!!

8 sec flat 0-60 is impressive! Wow.
This means a lightly equipped EC/SB truck might be running 6 sec 0-60s!

That's definitely impressive! The Ram will certainly be slower because the inline 6 will not build RPM's as quickly but I'll bet the Duramax gives it a run for it's money.

Not only impressive, but amazing. Think about what's being done today.

Take an empty one gallon milk jug. Fill it with diesel fuel. Today's diesel engines can use that one gallon of fuel and pull over 25,000 lbs. of truck, camper, and people about ten miles. All that with the A/C pumping cold air.

When you think about it, we're getting close to dilithium crystals pushing the Enterprise past the speed of light.

You guys don't find it impressive that a truck of that size can go from 0-60 in almost 8 seconds flat. 10 years ago that was unheard of unless you had some serious mods. Now, I completely realize that for real-world driving this isn't necessary but this kind of performance sure does make towing a heavy trailer pretty easy.

Very impressive and I'm also looking for to the other tests

My only question would be why? People buy dually trucks to work and haul, not for the drag strip. I don't think 1 second quicker to 60 would sway any buyers from one brand to another.
