Edmunds half ton drag race

Makes me think of my drag racing days at Englishtown raceway in NJ. Ran 100% stock class and my 2004 Dakota with a 4.7 would beat the hemis every time. Had them complain to tech many times to no avail. Even when they took everything out including seats they could not come close. One guy offered a hundred dollars for my secret! Well, took him up on it and told him "I have a standard transmission that shifts when I tell it to and you have an automatic that is programmed to shift when it wants to". Maybe the transmissions in the test were programmed differently as they were different makes and each make has an idea they think is best.
