Well, I got back from Idaho today.  Flew into Phoenix.  I waited until I got to Black Canyon City, and went to between the city and the highway exit a little farther north.  Anyway, in Flag (7200 ft), the truck does low 16's for the 0-60.  (Enough snickering, I'm not done with it yet.)  I tested it today, and got a low 11 second 0-60.  Sooo close to 10.  I'm not sure of the exact elevation of Black Canyon City, but I think it's probably around 500-1000 ft of elevation.  Couldn't find a deserted street in the Phx bowl, go figure.

Anyway, thought for any of you in the clouds, there's a general idea of how much gain you get going down to sea level or so.

too bad you didnt run a 1/4 mile, then you could've calculated HP loss and gain <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Yeah, I would have liked to but didn't have the time to go down to a track.  Much less, don't know where they are or if they're open on Sundays.  Even worse, it's probably a pathetically slow time. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  Just gonna take time and money.  I was racing people up hills going 92 at the lower elevation.  It was really fun.  Then I hit the hills near Flagstaff, and I couldn't keep more than 84.  #### that unareodynamic body!
