Dodge Dually Vs. LT1 Camaro High Speed

So.. I was on a two lane hwy behind and Audi, and in front of that was a lifted dodge dually. The Dually slowed way down.. and when the Audi got up real close the Dodge floored it and smoked out the car really bad.. I could barely see even being one car back.
I passed the Audi and got behind the dually, he started slowing down, and I wanted to pass but there was on coming traffic. after about 30 seconds we got to a straight and he floored it.. we got up to about 80 and I moved into the oncoming lane.. I already had it in 4th gear and decided to leave it.. if I had been going 70 or so.. I would grabbed 3rd. So I pulled out and expected to blow by him.. I pulled passed. but it took me longer than I expected.. when I got right passed him I went for 5th gear, ( I was running about 120mph) and missed the gear.. it just wouldn't go in.. to him I bet the thought I was revving my engine at him ( I have hella loud exhaust)
I finally got it in 5th gear and pulled past.. and shut her down at about 135mph.. I started having to slow down for an intersection where I had to turn right. We got to the intersection and he started honking at me.. dunno if he wanted to talk or was being a dick. I did a wicked fish tail onto the hwy that last through 2nd gear ( I have a lot of practice)... can't do that in a dually...
This is my third encounter with a heavily modded diesel.. the two times where we were already running over 70mph I've been really shocked how fast they are.. the one I raced from a 40mph roll.. I raped.

BS!!! My buddy has a 05 Dodge dually, and trust me, you can fishtail a dually, you just have to have it pumped up some, he's puttin out like 5-600 hp and over 800ft-lbs, it can move for a 9500lb truck, still a little slower than the bird though

he said he weighed it and it was 9350, idk, it does sound pretty heavy, but I know that thing will move. His wont do donuts very well, but it will drift around light poles and cars pretty good.

That's pretty light for a diesel dually. But 9k plus sounds too heavy. My SCSB Silverado Duramax goes 7k with little fuel and me in the seat.

He's right mine weight's around 9,200.. IMO they are the real deal we it comes to a heavy duty truck. at some point in time I 've owned or used trucks from ford,chevy and dodge and the dodge is the only truck I consider as a real 1ton HD truck..
