4.30 gears with a 6 speed auto and good power. As much as I hate Toyota I give them credit. Thats the kind of drivetrain every truck needs. Low gears, 6 speed tranny.

well i do know that its the single cab that runs that, which makes sense whena single cab weighs about 4300 lbs, so with 381 hp and 6-auto and 4.30 gears makes for good times at the track don't you think. my father posted a 14.7 at the track in his bone stock GMC DENALI truck (crew cab), thats 403hp 6-auto w/3.42. i would love to see that same combo in a single cab silverado to see what it would do.
F body fast, no.
Mustang and Ricer fast, definetly, if not a little faster.

I raced one of those not too long ago and it wasn't pretty for him. I am completely stock other than pilot sports on my car. I am also an a4 3.23 geared car. Maybe something is wrong with your car, or you need to practice driving. This should not be that close of a race. Well anything can happen on the street I guess.

Ok, well let's put it out there....
1. Ive only raced a few time's. No more then 10 times, since ive had the car. I really never raced before i had the car. So yeaa, i must be a bad driver. Im learning as time goes.....
2. I need to practice on my take off awhole lot more. Which is why he was so quick to pull out ahead of me. There's times i do get a great take off, then time's i stay spinning em.
3. My friends no newbie to racing either, he's raced awhole lot more times then me. So i honestly can see how he would pull me out the whole. Im a newbie, so he's got more experience.
4. Maybe there is something wrong with my car, i know after i changed the MAF. It never seemed to perform as good as it used to. I do need a new Cat, 1 is broken and rattling. I know a few times the car will go very high in RPM's and not shift until i let off the gas. Maybe i redlined, and when i did my stupid lil power kick. It shifted??? Hell idk, i just know the car does that sometimes. Other then that, yeaa guess im a bad driver right now.
Honestly though, that's a damn quick truck. Yeaa, i dont think he shouldve stayed right next to me either but for some reason he did. I flew right by him the 1st time, 2nd run he surprised me.

Not trying to call you out, but what Denali runs high 13's or low 14's stock? Are you sure this is accurate? I find it hard to believe if a Tundra can run low 14's stock.....Tundra should be faster than Denali right? Intake/exhaust and 22" wheels running low 13's? If that's the case, badass. I kind of doubt it though. Can anyone verify this?

Again...to clarify. I fully acknowledge the potential of these newer GM trucks. But making blanket statements about Mustangs being slower than a stock crew cab truck is just a low blow. I mean, if we really want to.......we could throw the dreaded Mustang II into this equation and then go on and on about Mustangs are slower than Cavaliers.
There has to be a line drawn somewhere.

I don't think anyone was debating that these trucks can get fast with some work done. I think it was a matter of just how fast they are off the factory floor.

You're talking about fast trucks from the factory.
There are some S-10's around here that run bottom 10's.
I raced a guy on the street a few years back and it was
definitely a 11.0 truck. People put together some pretty
wicked combos.
