Re: More more stability !!

Ahh, drag racing. That makes a little more sense. It will take 700+ horsepower and a way to transfer that power to the pavement for a 5000lb pickup to hit 120mph in a 1/4 mile. Not that it can't be done, there are people doing it all over. Its not for the faint of heart though. 110mph in is a little more achievable, 500 or so horsepower would probably do it with the right gear and tires and shedding a few hundred pounds. Do it on a track though... Anywhere but a track is dumb. You won't have accurate numbers and its not safe for you or anyone else.
