I haven't raced a Trailturd, but I did do alright against a '93 Ferd Lightning. He beat me, but I held up pretty well. He got me by about 1 1/2 car lengths and we were up to about 60mph. Had to shut it down b/c of another red light. We didn't punch it off the line, either, so he got a little bit of a jump on me. The D does better when I can stomp it from a standstill. Once it's rolling, the electronic shifing holds you back a bit. My friend has a 2001 Tahoe with the 5.4L, and he smoked me one time. The Chevy engines just put out a whole lot more pep than ours do. You'd think Dodge would be able to keep up, but they are so de-tuned, it's enough to make one sick.
