Personally, I really don't care if my truck is the fastest. Don't get me wrong, it was cool that my old Jato cracked 50mph (54mph to be exact) but it could only do it on pavement. On the track, I could never "punch it" as it would spin out at pretty much any speed. And on the grass, it was so low that it never even shifted. The Savage wasn't made for speed. It is a tough, big, and reliable monster truck. For this application, 35mph should more than adequate.

Sidenote and Rant: ART1....I totally agree with you. I am so sick of people stretching the truth about speed/acceleration. Right up till that time that real data is provided. AKA...radar gun/drag strip times. And then, they argue about it when their data falls short.(Excuses)

No...your 1988 Mustang GT did not run an 11 second quarter mile. No...it wasn't the fastest car in the city. Tell it like it is and people in the "know" will respect you for it. A 14second quarter mile is FAST and guess what, 35mph is pretty darn fast for a 12lb monster truck.

And those of you ready to pounce on me about how fast your real car is. Be ready to provide some track data. Magazine statistics are useless.
