OR
Burn more fuel effectively to give you more HP.
I understand that, but the car is STILL over 1,000 lbs lighter than my truck. :-\
My truck also only has a 4 spd automatic.
I should also mention that my dakota is modded, and makes over 270 whp/335 lb of torque and runs 13.50's or better in the quarter...
Bleh. Makes me wonder how rich these cars are tuned from the factory and what an SAFC and a couple hours on the dyno could do.
