Is there ever a point where you question the point of trying to make a truck fast?

TRY R.R. on a RCSB w/ my setup. However, my QA1s help. Even w/ my QA1s, I still feel railroad tracks on this 1 road. I usu. avoid that road for that very reason, or slow before approaching. I like to have the truck handle, so if I change the settings just for the RR tracks I seldom go over, I'd miss out on other fun.
Mark, I forgot. How much drop do u have? Your Ext Cab helps, right?
I know it's the combo of parts, but a ECSB has that nice wheelbase or longbeds, to help out w/a smooth ride.

before i had my RST i had 2 mustangs and an Iroc-Z, i used to get pulled over all the time with the cars yet have only gotten pulled over twice with the truck(knock on wood). it seems even with the loud exhaust the truck still flies under the radar, just bc a cop would look and think " that couldnt have been that truck". also you gotta love the room factor

take my buddy for example...
99 TA
Stock LS1
K&N filter
TR6 plugs (nightmare to put in!!)
PS LT Headers (horrific.. haha)
y pipe
Hooker aerochamber
Yank SS3600
Nelson 4L60E (dont even ask on these 2..
)
Stock 2.73s
I tuned it for him..
He went a best of 12.8 last night...
3600ish#
Me on the other hand,
stock LQ4
stock TC/80E
STS @ 5psi
50 wet shot thru a TB plate
stock 3.42s
28" slick
roughly 5000#
12.5@110
now which would you have?
He cant tow 9000#
its hard getting in and out of the car
his is a pain to work on, it took both of us to put #8 spark plug in..
got to worry about trans temps with a stall that big..
I wont ever trade mine for a crappy car...

but would not......EVER trade the ride in my GTO for the ride in the truck. Those seats are just made for comfort, way better than the F bodies, and they actually have bolsters unlike any Full size I have ridden in. And the stigma that was mentioned about the vette........its just the opposite around here if you have a truck with any exhaust/wheels tires........."just another redneck that can't afford a muffler"" Its kinda sad, especially when good folks like yourselves actually have fast trucks with engines that actually need the 3" strait exhaust to move all that air out get looked over and scoffed at because of hillbillies and janes that think they need to be heard for 3 miles in all directions

way to easy they al run good to a point
Think I've told the story before. At the track once. Me and a buddy who has an absolutely drop dead sexy all black 03 Cobra. Runs 10's.
We're parked side by side in the pits after a couple passes. I have like 15 guys and gals huddled around the truck with all the questions and gawking under the hood. Not a soul is looking at or talking with him about his Cobra.
