0-60 in 9?
Why do alot of review sites say this truck does 0-60 in 9 seconds? I mean my truck feels alot faster then that and that seems way to slow. Anyone else notice this?

i dont think the ranger - stock would do 0-60 in 9 seconds even if you drove it off a cliff. remember, aerodynamics of a brick on wheels

I thought mine was doing 0-60 in around 7 or so it felt (being as it felt as fast as my friends car which does 7 flat)
