Oh boy, it's on now. Who's gonna have the fastest SUV????

Cahd with his Durango

Robert or Elizabeth with the Denali XL

Mike with his H2

Blakmajik with his Range Rover

or Ted Yoder with his Xterra

ok we have good one here..

I suggest a challenge.

The SUV with the lowest E/T AND the shittest gas millage wins.

Something like take you avgerage MPG (on your DIC), divide by 1/2. Then subtract it from your best E/T. Person with the lowest score (including negative numbers) wins.

..or something like that. just a thought.

We are game for that! :partydance:

Is it cheating if mine is modified?

I do have an Airaid system on mine which I'm sure the typical BS advertising would say it's good for 2 more MPG and "up to" 40 more HP :bs:yesnod:laughing gut bustin:

If it is your dd, then it is not cheating. Bring it on!

Looks like I would be the only one in the heavy metal class. I would join the SUV group but I would hate to DESTROY THEM ALL....

If anyone breaks down, we can load your DD into the back of mine to haul it home. I think I can fit at least 3 at once... :edward:

If I make it, I will be minus the trailer.

If I can figure out how to sneak the work truck to enter it in a motorsports event, I'm in for the dually class.

And I'll be bringin the rukkus!!!

BTW, that picture was taken at Independance Pass leading into Aspen. Anyone been there? EASILY the scariest thing I've ever done in a vehicle. That truck, with over 10,000 lbs of trailer up those hills, in the rain... SPOOKY. The truck was wider than the lane given to me by the great state of Utah, and was constantly sliding one direction or the other, with fat drop offs and no guard rail. I did the whole thing with no seat belt as I was sure I was gonna have to bail at some point.

Hey, Dave (Eudlose) has an 08 F450 turbo diesel dually that might give you a good run. Hopefully he'll chime in here shortly with the thumbs up about going.

It's gotta be a bracket/dial in race for the SUV's. I got a whole 175 hp vs 4000 lbs on tap (and that was 150,000 miles ago). My money is on the Durango R/T for low ET. The H2 is underpowered like me and the Range Rover and Denali are overweight.

EDIT: I gotta get a battery tie down for the X....

Yeah, but you probably get better gas mileage too and I think they were working on a equation for that including the average mpg of the vehicle. So that could bring you back in the fold.

Oh yeah, put it on my calendar. This oughta be fun.

The Denali gets about 13mpg. :partydance:

Plus, it's a 6.0 liter (Corvette) engine! :thumbs

anyone want to bring their truck and trailer up here to give me and the wrangler a lift down and back? or should i just start down that way now? :P

but seriously how strict are they about the battery tie down? right now i have a bungee cord holding it down.

for the record my Durango R/T gets 10.9 MPG.

yes it sucks....

While im Hoping for a 16.8 second E/T. Subtracted by my MPG / half would give me a score of 11.35

Doing a quick google search showes E's Denali getting a 15.8 E/T (!). Subtracted by MPG/2 is a score of 9.3

we shal see.

I added "Drag racing the dually" on my outlook calendar, sent Jenna an invite...

She accepts it and doesn't say a word about it.

I guess I really have to try harder to surprise her these days. :lol

Heavy metal baby!! :yesnod:burnout:driving:

Well should I bring the H2 or the 08 Duramax dually?

I guess whichever one doesn't require a roll cage is the one I'll bring, LMAO!

Decisions......decisions......

If you run faster than 13.99, you need a helmet. Roll cage is a much lower E/T than that, so you could bring either or both if you have a friend to drive on there for you. Then you can compete in both classes.

He ran 12's all day Sunday without a helmet and they never said a word to him.

I think they were scared of him. :lol

You run faster than a 13.99 in either of those vehicles and I'll wear a mini skirt.

Dear Gale Banks,

How much dough to get in the 13s?

Thanks,

David :lol

I'd love to see how the Ford hangs with the new Duramax. I had a Duramax before the Ford and frankly, I think the DMax would kick its ass.
