Really? thats weird the first time I ran my car at the track I ran a 15.7 and an olderish Tundra was in the other lane and he ran a 16.1. Also my GF's uncle has one and I've raced him twice because he would make fun of me driving a hatch and I spanked him twice.

It wasn't like the 07 model? With the 5.7liter V8 that gives it a 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds, and a quarter mile time of 14.7 seconds?

inb4 you tell him to go all motor and then strip his car down of anything and everything to save weight because this seems like it's his DD.

Um. It was the older one. Not the 5.7 liter model. I don't really wanna go all motor on an A3. The supercharger sounds fun though.

I seriously think this Tundra was supercharged or had some chip mods. By the time I was at the top of 2nd he already had about 3 or more car lengths on me. And I swear I am not a shitty driver.

Torque, do you has it? No. You would've caught up in 3rd.

I have a supercharged Tacoma. It'll flat own an Ep3. It also scares a RSX Type S up to about 75 mph.

But what's it matter if a truck outruns a car? Take it to the corners and see what happens. Trucks have a lot of HP/torque often, so they're going to be fast in a straight line.

It had to be supercharged with that type of car length on you.

I agree, I ran a red neck huge looking truck at the drag track and when the light changed to green he took off really quick estimating 5 to 6 cars ahead...I thought I was going to loose badly but I manged to start catching up when I got to 3rd, then shift to 4th and beat him by .06 secs...got lucky...lol...

Yeah. I dunno. He pulled really quick. But I stopped at the top of 2nd so I am sure I probably could have caught up in the higher gears. I do realize he has tow power torque to get me off the line. And I do realize I would own him around a back road/ track but it was still embarrasing to get owned by an old dude in a Tundra...

At least it wasn't an American truck. JAPAN FTW!
