YouTube - Diesel truck vs. Mustang GT

Note to Gale: Renting a mustang at the airport, does not give you an excuse to make a LAME video.

Meow - MEOWWwwww!~ #@$%! :-laf



Why be BRAND predjudice (AND blind!) - public exposure and research/development that advances diesels is a GOOD thing for us all, regardless of the emblem on the front and rear!

Running the 1/8th at 77MPH, what 1/4 speed or time would he have done?

I dont run anything Banks, but agree with Gary. We all benefit in some way. More interest =more competition= more/better stuff available for US !

If they would stop with the stupid camera/video editing tricks you'd see that the truck blew some smoke at the start. Isn't that a big NO NO with Banks?

58 seconds into the video, and again at 5:27) Need a little more nitrous Gale, or is it "do as I say not as I do"?

ACTUALLY, having seen quite a few high-powered diesel drags and sledpulls, I was impressed at how LITTLE smoke that run produced...

Bingo!



Oh, and Gary, I am not brand biased. If your gonna pick on a car with a diesel truck... maybe do it with a car that has some balls, not a rental.

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

WELL, a Mustang GT is STILL a Mustang GT, regardless of where it comes from, and I guess I missed that part where they said it was a rental...



I also missed anything looking like very much smoke - especially from a PERFORMANCE diesel... :-laf

I bet you could clean up the smoke from a burning tire with enough nitrous. I don't care either way. It just irritates me when he throws mud all over other performance part MFG's because they're products may produce smoke. All while doing the same thing himself. If he would shut up about it everytime he gets 30 seconds on a tv show more people would probably take him more seriously. He can't win in a HP war, he's yet to prove himself with the drag truck, (with his new step son Greg H) no sled pulling wins. You can't even buy some of the products he promotes (Big Hoss intake for the Dmax, where's the variable geometry turbo kit for the Cummins?) A one trick pony gets old real quick.

Rent a hard top next time. How many convertable drag cars have you seen?
