I'm sure every one had this comment said to them several times..

''why do you do all this stuff to a truck? why not do it to a camaro or mustang?''

just wondering what everyones comments back were..

i always say ''why not have a truck that can walk away from mustangs and camaros and beet an old guys c5 corvette? i can haul my race car to the track, i can do my girlfriend in the back seat..and it runs in the 12's''

 

its more fun to beat people in something they dont expect.

 

and that too..no one expects to race a 12 second extended cab truck on 20's

 

Cause since I was a kid I liked to do things I shouldnt. I enjoy dragging mustangs (a little heave for most Fbodys around here) and its nice to have something that I can still haul my 4 wheeler around in, pull the boat, and still walk away from almost anything at a red light.

Oh yea and real men drive trucks

 

I did it due to needing something to work on.. I dont have either one of my motorcycles with me and have a need to turn wrenches on a regular basis... I had no idea thta it would turn into all this!!! but, I do like being able to pull up to a light nd nobody expect that its the "big dumb truck" thats going to walk their asses....

 

The reason I like to modify trucks is that they are easier to street race with. It's much easier to get someone to race your truck than a Camaro or Corvette.

 

Also, its way easier to work on a truck than an Fbody. Have yall seen how much room we have as opposed to them. I would slit my wrists before a cam install on an Fbody.

 

insurance, you can still use it as a truck, can drive it all year round, and if you get into an accident you wont be SOL

 

I just tell them there isn't anything like a 6000lbs truck beating a Mustang, camaro or vette

 

ask them if they want to race
