Is there a video of a diesel truck that beats a corvette?  

Diesels cam be pushed hard, but even the upper limits of diesles are just about as fast as a stock z06  

i havent seen any videos of that but i have heard and read about the DHRA (Diesel Hot Rod Association)  where street legal diesels with massive engine and tranny mods run the 1/4m in 13s.  and thats with stock suspensions and no weight reductions.  Then there's their version of like top fuel (i think) and they run 1/4 miles in lest than 10s!!!!!!  And other that being lower to the ground and have wide slick tires they still look stock to.  

But dont z06's run mid 13's stock? DOnt get me wrong I would take a hopped up diesel over a car any day, just lookin at the numbers here  

I can't remember where it was that I found but there is a vidoe out there where it was either a stock ford or dodge with a diesel that a programmer smoke a stock z06.

yea true, but it would be great to see the face of a vette owner when he's running all out and a "stock" looking 3/4 ton or bigger is running side by side with him!  

the new z06 runs something like 11.7 in the quarter mile.  that's pretty quick.  I'm sure there are some diesels that run that quick, but not a stock truck with a chip.  It would take turbo upgrades, massive heads and intercooler, trans help, gearing.......... etc etc  

I have a vid on my machine of a '97 or so 1-ton Dodge in street trim knocking down an 11.04@128+ mph. He's racing an '03 supercharged Cobra Mustang. Poor Ford never had a chance!

I can send it to you if you wish.

I just put what the guy who posted the video had said was done to the truck.

now thats what im talking about!! id sure like to see that for sure.  

Diesels are on there way up. W/ all the new technology for these engines we will see more 1 ton trucks racing around like import tuners, but w/ a trailer on the back. I had no idea what a diesel was capable of untill I bought mine. Wow. Cheaper to mod, more hp and tourq, and I could get the thing to run off used vegie oil.  I think in the near futur we will see a lot diesels on the trail. Oh ya diesel might be a little more than gas now, but w/ the mileage I'm getting it still is cheaper than running my GMC w/ a 350.  

there is a site like bd diesel performance and they have a 3/4 ton diesel with torque converter upgrade, injectors, cold air, 4;10 gears, and tuner, exhaust etc. it ran a 9 s quarter. Holy ***  

Take a look at dieselram.com there is some vids in the forum that has diesel drags, pulling competitions, and tug-o-war contest.
