I've yet to get burned by anyone yet. I've had the truck since July too. I kinda lost to a short cab short bed Vortec Silverado once, but I didn't know we were racing until she stomped the gas. I almost caught her though. But that doesn't count.
I keep seeing Iforces out there and stuff, but no one ever seems to want to use their damn gas pedals. I guess they can't afford the gas after spending all their money on that expensive *** truck. hehe.

To bad your in VA, id let you run my Iforce. lol. All in fun though. I have the same problem over here in CA, not very many Hemi's will bite. Took down a rumble bee a few months ago (really bad), but nothing since then.

Why is it the only ones that will run is the newer f150s? Theyre slow as all hell, even the S/C ones, and im sure they know of this, but still like to try.

Yeah, the F-150's do seem to think they have something under that hood. Poor bastards.

I didn't even get this truck for speed though. I traded in a Mustang convertible to get back into a truck and I bought the Hemi for the power and I planned on lifting it. I never really floored it completey during the test drives because I wasn't really that interested in racing it. But I quickly realized the damn thing was faster than my Mustang had been. And nobody ever wants to play. hehe.

And I would love to put it up against a comparable Iforce. From what I am told, I might get beat. I suppose it depends on the gearing.

You must have had a weak Mustang, because even as good as my 08 Hemi runs, it isn't even close to my 88 5.0 LX!!

Yes, I had a weak Mustang. It was a 2001 V6 Convertible..... (cough to hide embarassment) automatic... Don't judge. I lived right outside DC when I bought it and it was a nice car to sit in traffic all day in. And my girl and I looked hot in it. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly trying to race anyone in it.

Well you'd need to be racing a double cad tundra then, and have a whole lotta mods. Intake, exhaust, Tune, and gears are not gonna be enough trust me. Ive seen some wicked fast hemis at the track that could smoke most tundras hands down, but they had a lot of money under the hood. I cant wait to line up to the new RCSB R/Ts.
