Default American Muscle VS Toyota

Raced my buddy in his Toyota T100 V8 4x4 for laughs.... He was telling me how fast that thing is and he was not the least bit scared of the 496 CID under my hood....well bottom line, 0-50 race from a stop he beat me by a nose...like 1 foot or so...but really it was a dead heat, my tires spun in place like line locks for about 5 seconds....I was pretty impressed with that ricer truck, it was quick ... for a unmodded big block giving up probly 1200 lbs, my 2500HD did OK... just thought I would share! <img border="0" alt="[Truck]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_truck.gif" />

Now that you've raced to his strengths (honestly, the 496 wasn't meant to be a drag racer), race on your strengths....hook up a 16,000lb trailer to each trucks hitch and THEN race!

If his truck even moves I'd be surprised.

The Allison alone robs more power than his "I-force" V8 makes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Toyota trucks are well-built for sure, but they are too smooth and "soft" looking for a truck in my opinion. They are like the "Diet Coke of Badass".

A few weeks ago i raced a new toyota tundra, and beat him by easily a truck length. He got me off the line, but the vortech showed its true horsepower <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> He and I both had exhaust systems, so i figured it was an even race. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> Toyota!

Last night I was coming home from school and this guy in a toyota TRD gets next to me and starts reving his piece of ****. Ha Ha Ha! This is going to be fun I say. We get at the light at I put my vortec 4.8 in neutral and give him a few revs from my flowmasters. I was gone in a matter of no time at all so I put on the brakes cause I didnt want a ticket. The idiot then proceeds to fly by me thinking he is all fast. What a loser! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
