No not pimp. I meant actual runs on the Drag strip.
Actually with the lack of the tailgate, I think it looks better, and with everything I've done to it to boost mileage; it does better with out the gate on. Not too mention, I've been hard on it. It's scratched all to hell, dented, bent, battered. Just tore up. Looks bad, so I keep it off.

OOooohhh I got you now, drag race, cool! I understand about the tailgate. I didn't know if you were one of these guys that thinks they get better mileage with it down than up. I have always left mine up and then found that "Myth Busters" proved that the gate up is better on mileage. So I was happy when I saw that.
