Default Funny race story

So yesterday I'm cruising around and see a red single cab silverado with black racing stripes and a lil wing looking thing on his tailgate. He's in the left turn lane and I'm in the go straight lane and this bastard revs up on me.
So my light turns green and I creep past him and rev up on him then slam it into drive and make the truck peel the tires (yes I know neutral drops are stupid, but oh well) So his light turns green and what does he do? Jumps over to follow me. He cuts in and out of traffic (which I do not do) and he gets in front of me and hits his flashers

I finally get a chance to get behind him and he hits it as I do and I stayed on top of his back bumper the whole time. I get next to him and he goes, "that's a bad b*tch" I asked him if his truck was a Joe Gibbs truck because it looked like one and had the same rims and was a stickshift. His response, "No, its a limited edition, one of 300 made" "I used to have a corvette motor and a ram-air supercharger, but the guy before me stripped it all off, he even took the red mirrors off" So I said ok, and kept driving.
Now that I think about it, it wasnt a Joe Gibbs truck, it was some kind of special package they had at some of the dealerships over here.

There is a truck just like that in College Station also. It was a regency package. The only performance mod on it from the factory was a catback.

Ditto on the Regency package ...

Now for the disappointing part, I think it's only available in a 4.8. Well, if it had a standard, then it was a 4.8.

Only for the Regency customs ... Maybe that's why it's so damn expensive. I think they are about as much as a JGP truck.
