    so i have a bit more power than stock but today was the first time in years i got to know that i pulled out to pass a nice pete with a really nice aluminium hopper trailer both loaded and got to go out and pass his smug ### from a stop light.. and he didnt want me to because we were both rowing some gears and trying hard.. love it or leave it i know i passed his ### and he does too.. an 80k drag race isn't that exciting but those that win its alot of fun to talk about..

    I pass Petes all day. Who wants a Pete when you can lean back and cruise in a W9?

    I ain't never ever heard anybody say, "their ain't no feeling like freightliner mobiling!" Probably good reason for that.

    Lmao. There really ain't no feeling like a freight liner. Your back hurts so bad and you're still shaking when you get out!

    I've driven 377's, 378's and I will take my T600 for ride any day of the week.

    Comparing them to this new Cascadia is unfair as I know it's not right comparing something with springer front axles and springer trailers to something that's full air from front axle to trailer.

    Yea, I've driven a 379, and now this W900. I gotta say, I'm a Kenworth man.
