World's Fastest Truck - 222 MPH

**FLiPMaRC** · July 9th, 2003 03:07 AM

A Diesel Dodge Dakota that set the world record for fastest pickup truck at 222.139 mph. Not only is it street legal, it drove to the salt flats towing a trailer, and then set the record.

Here is the website: http://www.bankspower.com/sidewinder.cfm

Here is a comparison to the Ferrari Enzo: http://www.bankspower.com/Sidewinder-vs-Enzo.cfm
Dakota wins: horsepower, torque and top speed, and it still gets 21.2 mpg

It uses a cummins 5.9 L diesel engine (same one that is in the ram) with a lot of modifications (like ice water intercoolers) and has 735 hp and 1300 ft-lbs of torque. Pretty cool truck I say.

Look at the redline! 4000 rpm lang! hehehe still beats the Enzo! You just gotta love the VG turbos. Kakainis mitsu dito hindi ilabas yung VG turbo ng 4d56! Good for an additional 14 hp.

Ayos yan ah! almost as fast as the fastest productionroad car Mclaren F1 topspeed is 232mph

Forget the top speed, just look at the power. Top speed is about aerodynamics.

I'm sure the enzo can go 250mph, maybe even higher if Ferrari wanted it to, but they decided to emphasize more on handling.

That Dodge, give it a streamliner body and it should crack 300mph.
