I doubt you smoked a V8 Dodge... Depending on the year, a V8 dodge would just about eat my doors and my motor makes a lot more power than yours... If it was a 90s model I still don't even see it happening... The Dodges have **** top end for one. The 318s only made 235 HP or something... But made quite nice torque numbers for an older low end engine... Somewhere around 310 I think? The 360s only made 245 hp and made like 345 torque... So I don't see much plausibility to this story at all...

You basically flip flopped your story. Not to mention his truck probably only weighs about 700 pounds more than your car...

Also, since when could you get a 2.8 that had a 5 speed? I thought they only made autos with the 2.8s...
