Those races were quite funny! The truck moves very well for it's obvious size and poor aerodynamic characteristics. Doesn't seem it outpowers the cars there though. I think it clearly has much better gearing. At speeds under 100mph, there's just not much wind affect on accerleration. There is those big tires though, which have to slow things.

Yes and while the truck is a Dodge, it's managing to hold together with power applied.

Looks like the same one used on the 2000 Cobra R... only gay, because it's NOT ON a 2000 Cobra R(which would've checked out at about 10mph) and it's painted with racing stripes.

Uh oh is someone's truck about to get "Rammed" by a Mustang?

If so I bet a crisp 1 dollar bill the OP back pedals until he's out the door.
