So last night I pulled up to a red light and a gas Gladiator sport pulled up beside me and started reving his engine to show off his modified exhaust. I power brakes and bumped in. He took the bait and I blew him away I don't think he knew he was messing with a diesel. Very funny experience in my new ecodeisel.😂😂

That's me against Silverados, Hemi 1500s, and F150 EcoBoosts... that don't realize what slapped them until they see the BANKS decal above my EcoDiesel badge on the tailgate.

One morning there was a 2nd Gen Lightning Chirpin gears and shredding tires at every light. I caught him at an intersection and then I timed the light off the cross traffic Yellow, when our light went green I got the jump and chirped 2nd. The Lighting didn't want to play after that.

Reminded me of my old Foxbody SoCal street racing days in the late 90s and early 2000s. Still have my 90 Coupe with a 393W. Except I don't street race it anymore.

The barley sub 8 second 0-60 times have me on the edge of my seat every time in the gladiator. :)
Then the wife looks at me and says really? Lets just save this silliness for my TB SS with a modified LS2. I say, "Yes dear" :)

A Model S(4 door sedan powered by batteries) takes 1.9 seconds to go 0-60. Drag races are just pointless these days.

Fixed it for you.

Of course Red is the fastest color. The SRT-10 is still the world's fastest stock production truck. My 04 6-speed is just a wee bit faster than the 23 Gladiator. :) Keeping it Mopar.
