Last year with a hurt motor and 62mm turbo, it went 12.55 @ 111mph with a shitty 1.9 60' on slicks.I was turning 1.7 60's all day and got excited on the last run. Should of been low 12 sec ride.Now truck has fresh motor and 70mm turbo(but stock heads now).My truck weighs 4450lbs according to the scales.Not bad for a V6...Also Im 27 and my insurance is $150/month on it for full coverage..cant beat that.
