I do wonder how fast that Sonoma is!
He's right there with Shawn and the Murder Nova.
The only numbers I've seen them give up was Shawn said the Nova did 7.5x in the quarter a couple of weeks ago SHUTTING IT OFF AT THE 1/8 mile marker. Shawn said this on Yellowbullet.  
I'm guessing 4.60 1/8 and tickling 6's in the 1/4 mile.

That sounds like a good deal. The winner in his street legal no chassis car against a pro stock 2300 lb race car
The Sonoma is all steel, has a stock front suspension, is a backhalf chassis and weighs WAY more than 2300lbs. But why let a thing like facts get in the way of a good internet pissing match...........

Lots of gossip and speculation about that truck, but one thing is fact: it IS a bad biotch.
There's a vid on YB showing Dave running almost dead-even with a Vette that made Cheeseburger look damn slow.

I have stated facts about the truck and several of the other Street Outlaws cars several times. I know how fast they have all been at the track, but that really doesn't matter. It matters how fast they get them down the street and is the premise of the show. Many, I repeat MANY of the challengers have gone faster at a track, but they can't get down the street. These guys are good at making their cars run as fast, or at least nearly as fast on the street, as they do on the track and that takes a good bit of experience. That is the reason they boast what they do, because anyone who thinks taking their fast track car and just letting it rip on the street is easy, soon finds out they were dead wrong.
As to Dave's truck, as stated it is a backhalf chassis with a stock front end. Big tires, 4-link and a Fulton 632 with 3 stages. It is all over the net that it runs 4.30s to 4.40s. It is NOT that quick, but is an EASY 4 sec ride on the track OR the street, same as most of the other top 5 or so cars. They can ALL go well into the 4 sec zone, I am just not going to tell you how far. None of them are flyweights either. Most are within a couple hundred pounds of 3000 give or take.
Most of them actually make pretty ugly runs at the track, because they have SO MUCH bite dialed into the chassis for street racing, that on anything resembling a GOOD surface, they all paddle and shake the tires for the first 100 feet or so at the track. I was at Paducah a few weeks ago with Doc and Monza and they both wadded the tires up so bad that they could only muster 60fts in the mid 1.20s, but even at that, they both put down EASY 4 sec blasts. They likely 60ft BETTER on the street than the track, because I do know that Jerry(Monza) only changes a couple degrees of timing from his track tune to street tune, so it is NOT like they greatly detune them for the street.
So that's all the "specifics" I care to give............but I can tell you this, you outrun them on a prepped track, with a race car, so what, you should..........you out run one of them on the "street" when one of them makes a clean pass.......you have a BAD hot rod

I guess the information off their web site is wrong. this is what it says my point is they won't let them run a chassis car. but the winner gets to run against a chassis car
I just watched a video on the truck and in his own words the truck is extremely light and extremely fast. I guess I don't believe him ether
so off to Mickeys Chassis Works it went for an all new 25.2 chromemoly chassis with a 4 link suspension.
Monte
Our stock rear suspension Buick, with stock front suspension and stock location firewall also has a 25.2 cert chromoly chassis........so what's your point. I guess you recognize no difference in a "full tube CHASSIS car" and what is considered a backhalf car with stock front suspension and firewall. With what they do, would the Sonoma or any of those other cars out there not benefit greatly from a lighter strut front end and the motor moved way back in the car. I would certainly think so, yet none of them are done that way.
It doesn't really matter anyway.......haters gonna hate and frankly.........I don't care if you believe me or not and I doubt Dave does either.

How light do you think a backhalf truck with stock front suspension and a 632 can be? 3000lbs is very light for that kinda rig.
