Red light to Red light

[Leveled]

My truck is by no means a race truck, even with 395hp and 3.92’s. However, every so often there’s a guy next to you at the red light revving his Subaru with a fart can. Personally, I feel obligated to do my best to educate these individuals. Factory 0-60’s I’ve found for crew-cab 5.7’s are somewhere in the high 7’s. Though I’ve never timed my own truck, I’ve found the best method for these scenarios is to turn off traction control, turn on tow-haul (higher shift points), and 4wd Auto. The truck is certainly no slouch for a 1/2 ton. I know no-one here would ever dream of breaking the speed limit but what kind of performance is everyone experiencing? Who/what have you beat?

Maybe 30+ years ago. But I am a grown up now and an exhibition of speed citation, and possible arrest, just isn't in the cards any longer.

As Rob mentioned. There was a time. 2010 Tundra with TRD supercharger my son and I would take to the track.
Funny you mention Subaru though, a Subaru WRX, AWD, turbo can get down in the 4’s, tuned with boost cranked up. Surprised the you know what out of me when I saw a couple run and around town.
But, yes there are some of those bumblebee sounding mufflers that can get on your nerves.

I'll just lurch off the light just enough to make them think I'm going, then watch them go. Figure I'll see one get stopped someday. Either way they look like idiots and I get the pleasure of knowing I made em do it.

Absolutely, I’ll let out at the speed limit every time. I don’t want that insurance bill.

7 Seconds?? If I put it in 4Auto and give it full boot off the line, my crew cab with 3.92's will shuffle to 60 in about 5.9 seconds. I even posted a video many months ago.

It did feel faster than 7. I’m don’t remember which website I got that from. Motortrend says 6.1 so high 5’s to low 6’s sounds more reasonable
