Default dmax smoked me out

so coming back from the gym just trying to get some good gas mileage when 2 bros in a black dmax took off from the light, so of course i tried to catch him at the next light. looked stock, no tuner in the windshield, stock exhaust, but it was on 35's, maybe a small lift and was a 07-10. so next few lights we fooled around, but traffic didnt really open up until he got behind me at the next light. light turned green and i took off in haul *** mode, we probably ran to 70 or so before i let off. when i hit second gear he went from slowly creeping on me to going around me and taking off, by the time i let off he pulled 4 trucks.

by no means am i fast, especially with stock 3.73 gears with 35's with the 4l60e. all i have is GMPP CAI, MBRP cat back and BBP tune(which was done before i lifted it). tuned it for 93 and as much hp as he could get outta it for being a DD. i do have 4.88's waiting in the basement which would have helped a ton. suprised i kept up with him, figured i woulda gotten my doors blown off since i didnt have a 6-speed or gears to compensate. was pretty cool but i wish i was faster haha.
