Default 2012 eco vs 2011 hemi sport

Just as the title says do I stand a chance? We have an old abandoned airport here and he's been bugging me to run them. I'm not much of a racer but am thinking about it since it's on a closed course and all. What do you guys think?

Practice your boost launches, lighten you load as much as possible and go put a hurtin' on that hemi.

I traded a Sport Crew Cab for my Eco. Trust me, the Dodge doesn't have a chance.

I agree, build your boost before you let the break go and that hemi won't know what hit it

I'm with 88junior. I also had a 2011 Ram Sportr 4X4 that I had a CAI, on and traded it for my 12 Eco. I guess for that year I must have hit my head and had poor lack of judgement, but 88 junior is right that hemi won't stand a chance to the eco.

I beat a 4 Door 2012 Hemi by about 2 1/2 truck lengths from a dead stop in my 5.0. I have also beat a 2012 5.7L Tundra and a 2012 Duramax, and have the video of both of those being beat by good amount. If EcoBoosts are suppose to beat 5.0s, then you will eat that Hemi.
