    I say "drag race" very loosely. My friend just bought a 2012 frontier and wanted to see who's quicker up to 60 from a stop light. I've got a totally stock 2014 DCSB. Should I be in 4H or 2H. Would auto LSD be better than just normal trac, though iirc auto LSD doesn't do anything in 4H? Do I leave it in drive or run through the gears on the shifter (automatic).

    Yea I know this is stupid and childish let me be a child

    Screw 0-60 at a light, take them to a real drag strip and see who's really quicker with a legit timer keeper and set distance.

    EDIT: Justus beat me to it :thumbsup:
