Wow...umm, ya, everyone who has said anything along the lines of "my stock 1500 Silverado can beat a 1500 Hemi Ram" are wrong. The only stock Silverado that can beat a stock Hemi Ram is the SS, and even that's not by all that much. I've driven both and raced in both against one another as well as many other cars, and the Silverado SS smokes even the modded Silverados but only has a car length or two bewteen itself and the Hemi Ram. Go look at the numbers...oh and for the Nissan Titan guy...that's funny.

A stock ss will not beat a modded silverado. I raced one the same day as the vid I posted and went 12.7 to his 14.9. I had roughly 20 trucks on him when I went through the lights.

An SS Silver is nothing more than a body kit and suspension upgrade. The motors are exactly the same.

A stock SS is an awd extended cab truck with a 345hp LQ9 6.0L. The awd is great for holeshots, but it kills the mid/high end. That horsepower is being distributed to all the wheels. The SS comes with 20" wheels and an upgraded interior. Very few stock SSs break into the 14s, and those that do are 14.8-14.9. A bone stock ecsb 5.3L with basic bolt ons runs mid high 14s, so that is wrong, most cases a "slightly" modified 5.3L will take an ss. The LQ9 is a beast of a motor to modify, but the awd system kills the performance of it in stock form. That's why the new Silverado vho was created. It is a 2wd version of the ss, same motor, but lacks the ss interior and awd.

Im with slow.... I kNOW i can take a hemi now..i just might have to make a vid to prove it.

[busta]

Slowpro, 12.7 is awesome for anything, especially for a truck! I wish I had a truck that fast... anyways, there's a difference between modded, and a 12.7 silverado. the difference is in either the amount of mods, the quality of mods, or both. Congrats to a 12.7, really, that is awesome and is something for any truck lover to be proud of (especially you).

[tdw000222]

oh, and by the way...one of the silverados the stock SS has torn up had cold air intake, true dual exhaust, and had supposedly been chipped or was going to be soon there after.

I just took this off of car and drivers review

In fact, our 5030-pound Titan clobbered 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. That’s 0.9 second quicker than either a Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab with a 345-horse Hemi or a GMC Sierra Denali with a 325-hp, 6.0-liter Vortec V-8—two of our favorite trucks. It’s odd to find yourself at the helm of a full-size pickup with such squeeze-and-squirt prowess. Heck, the Titan rolls through the quarter-mile at the same velocity as a Mercury Marauder, and it’s a 10th quicker.

Not exactly. See SlowProcess post. He sums it up pretty well.
