Anyone seen september issue of car and driver?

[stevo936]

They have a test between the new silverado, f-150, and ram. Silverado with overall score of 200 ford 188 and ram 187.

 

Seems the ecoboost is still quicker but silverado is a little better then hemi.

 

1/4 mile times

ford- 14.8@94

Chevy- 15.3 @92

Dodge- 15.6 @88

Imagine what a 5.3 with 3.73 would do. I am very interested in the 6.2.

I have test drove a Hemi and its really not that quick. I was not very impressed by it but this was before the 8spd was installed. That ecoboost is stupid fast and i like it but nothing beats a V8 lol.

My 2012 Hemi Ram I traded in ran 14.30's @ 96mph at Maple Grove last fall. That was with the old transmission, RCSB 4x4, 3.55 gears, muffler swap and CAI, 5150lbs with me in it across the scales. I love my '14 Silverado, but the Ram was definitely quicker. They must've had a bed full of lead when they did that test. I've seen Ram's run high 13's with a tune.

If your lucky in a regular cab. Trucks are a turd as a crew cab 4x4.... no surprise they lose in the mags just like they do in real life.

Considering a tune and bolt ons 5.7 Charger that is easy thousand pounds less than even a reg cab truck only runs high 13s generally.... forget it in a tune only truck.

Hemi's are heavy and slow. I've raced just about every pickup, I raced a 6.2 with a Blackbear tune hands down the fastest tune only half ton I've raced. I also raced a livernois tuned Eco-boost that was pretty quick.

 

Either didn't stand a chance but I sandbagged to see what they could do. Both very surprising!

I meant bolt ons like mine had plus a tune. Yes, mine was a regular cab, it was a fun truck. The following times were all backed up with timeslips.

Saw this truck run in person, 2013 no tune, muffler swap, drop in K&N, set of Drag Radials. 13.95 @ 96mph, I'm not bullshitting when talking about these trucks, I owned two of them since I hated the 2003-2013 Chevy's.

BTW, you're right Chargers weigh a 1000lbs less, Charger's with full bolt on's and a tune run better than high 13's, at least up here in the Northeast where I live. I know we have some of the best track's in the country with the best air within 2 hours of my house. Maple Grove, Englishtown, Atco, Cecil County, Numidia, Beaver, Island, MIR.

Weird how the results here differ from Car and Driver. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my Silverado for any of the other trucks.

Everyone does their tests differently. C&D likely only had one person in the truck instead of two and the magazines often use correction factors for temperature, elevation and other stuff so their numbers are standardized so you can accurately compare a car tested here in Michigan can be compared to one tested in Italy.

As a sidenote, that F150 interior and steering wheel is UGLY!! I like the regular Ram interior, but the high end one in this article is hideous, especially the wood on the steering wheel.
